What I have done in the past, is put a couple inches thick moist moss in the bottom of a gal ziplock bag and left the zipper enclosure open about 0.5 in. This provides a humid "green house" effect

I just rescued three vandas right off to the rubbish bin. They might not be happy but I am. The cold has devastated my vandas! I'm over it, no more vandas. The few that have survived will be cared for.

Hi Todd and Roger. Sorry to hear about your vandas. I too am not buying anymore vandas. Most of them died during my two years of neglect. They really need to be kept humid. Not an easly task since they are hung bare rooted. Dry season is really dry here. So now I only grow cattleyas..........

Suggestion: Putting a plastic bag over it improves the humidity and keeps it warmer. I do that with cuttings to get rooted.

Bravo! So wonderful to watch new roots come y see the plant come to life. Especially because it was a special gift as well. Onwards y upwards....❤🧚‍♀️

It is unlikely to make it - the rot seemed to be in the whole stem.

Hope it makes it. I understand about special plants, especially if they have come from someone special.

Good luck - fingers crossed! I really think a rooting hormone or keike paste will be needed for recovery…

Fingers crossed but I have to agree with you, it's probably to far gone. Maybe some rooting powder and a plastic seal around the base

I think the rot has probably travelled up the whole stem. The top leaves are holding each other in place.

Hope it works. Something similar was happening to my Renanthera Gerald Tan, but I caught it in time. Cut off the bottom few inches which were rotting, sealed the cut with cinnamon and all is well. Luckily, mine had some newer roots further up the cane

Once cold damage gets into a stem, there's not much can be done.

Sorry to see this. What caused the rot do you think?

@GrowingOrchidswithRoger

Structural cell damage due to cold and then infection/rot set in.

Yes - it's just started a spike.

Did it work? I have a similar looking Vanda minus the black spots on the leaves (I think mine was left too dry too lon, I had a mental health problem for the last few months plus my room gets verry dry during winter)... the top 3 to 5 leaves are still green and the roots belwo would also be green 🤔

No - it just rotted and all the leaves fell off.

Don't dip your possibly diseased plant parts into your supply of chemical. You want to keep your supply clean. Put some into a cup or something else, and then dip it. Then pitch the excess. You don't want to contaminate your chemical.

My fingers are crossed. If the rot is not too far would a root hormone not give it a better chance? I never used that on orchids but might be worth trying..

I wonder if you should’ve left the stem a little longer, put cinnamon on it, then put candle wax to seal it.

A bit confused here..... some of your replies from 2 months ago state the vanda is still alive but not doi g well, one update from 3 months ago that the orchid had rotted and all the leaves fell off and now from 8 days ago that its alive and has a spike? Which one is it??
