Vanda testacea
Vanda testacea came bare rooted and roots just grow so wide. I tried to squeeze it into the widest vase I had - and just cracked the roots for nothing - it didn't fit. Will keep it in a basket and see how it goes. The cracks are visible on the two top right roots, hope they are not totally ruined:
Rhynchostylis coelestis arrival
It got appropriate vase for now. There is something on the left that looks like an old dried spike which means it is blooming size:
