Vanda insignis

Mature plant of Vanda insignis potted into sphagnum moss...




No, don't worry, it is not sphagnum moss all the way to the bottom.
I actually found this method of potting vandas here.
I thought it would work for me because while my seedlings in small pots are fine with chc - this vanda has pretty wide spread roots that require large pot. Chc in that pot would probably dry forever, so I did as described in the post I mentioned above.

Curled the roots into pot and placed bunch of small net plastic pots in between:



Put a layer of sphagnum moss to top it up:



Now I need to make sure it dries up in about 3 to 4 days, that's how often I water my other vandas in chc and they like it.
