Thanks Ursula I had forgotten. I hope someone can help.

I had two vanda types when I first moved here 9 years ago. One got stolen and I am unsure what the identity of this one is. But I have an entry for:
V. Gordon Dillon X V. kretcant X self. I suspect that that might be the stolen one though.

I have the remaining one on the dead trunk of a small eucalyptus (see photo). It went well before I but it there and now it seems to be on the way out. I am wondering if the chemicals in gum trees are a bit toxic and I should move it. However, some roots are firmly established on the dead trunk. Can I sever these and safely move it? I would then try to established it on a palm trunk.

Of course, it may be okay there and I should be doing something else - like fertilising? It is in full sun most of the day. There are two connected growing parts.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
