Me too, Gigi. Most of my Vandas came from Apopka and a couple had a whole bunch of thin roots, but now are putting out those big, fat healthy roots. Some are even fatter than a pencil, and the growth tips are over an inch long.
My V. Jairak Heartthrob which is in bloom right now has at least 5ft. of roots that I've been wanting to thin out and prune, but haven't had the nerve. The whole plant is over 8ft. from top to bottom. Anybody got some advice on this? If the roots are thin, and don't green up when you water, or some of them even have algae growing on them, is it ok to just cut them off? I do plan to "top" the whole plant in the late spring, as the top section has several really great roots and the bottom has a big keiki.
