Vanda falcata set up change | Classic leca Semi Hydro Fail 😖 | Rescuing Vanda falcata collection 🤞🏼

Procrastination can sometimes be the enemy of any orchid grower! I wonder if I have left it too long for my speciality vanda falcata orchids to bounce back and recover, dare I say... start to grow well? Neofinetias should be grown wrapped in sphagnum moss, beautifully presented. My climate makes any sphagnum moss degrade quickly and accumulate algae, meaning I have to change the sphagnum moss out 2x / year. The semi hydro set up I had my vanda falcatas in was not a success, so I am tweaking the set up with seramis and am hoping for the best. 🤞🏼
