Last time it bloomed in summer 2011 while growing in glass vase. After that flowering I decided to pot it into bark with packing peanuts at the bottom and that was a big mistake. All roots rotted down to two small leftovers. I was sure that plant will be lost but gave it a chance - kept it in the clay pot with a handful of chc watering quite frequently.
It took two years to grow new roots strong enough for it to spike again.
Congrats! This is very heartening to see, that vandas can recover even if it takes a long time! I have a vanda sansai blue whose roots are mostly rotten :( But it has started making 1 new root. Seeing the progress on your Garnet Beauty has given me hope! :) I hope you'll post pictures of the flowers when they bloom!! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done! From what I've read not many manage to save their Vandas from rotting. It looks very pretty.
