Hi John, welcome!
Your Vanda looks about as great as anyone in a tropical climate could manage!! It doesn't get much better! Thumbs up
I see healthy roots also higher up on that plant! Great! It flowers once a year for you, so it must receive sufficient light where you keep it.
Now if that were me, I would place the plant as is in a large, slatted wooden basket and hang it up, watering the plant daily, fertilizing as you did before. If those roots were much submersed in that glass vase, they will surely need much water while getting used to air movement.
I used to keep a large Vanda in the house over the Winter and in Summer outside. Now during the indooor season, I took the plant daily over the bath tub, flooded it, let it drip off and placed it back on its hook in a South facing, sunny window, towel underneath to catch last drips... Smiling (When I couldn't move that plant through the bathroom door any longer, we had a discussion about getting a greenhouse! Smiling )
