Emergency Vanda Orchid Rescue

[@njd4316]

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

[@galecunningham1250]

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....❤🧚‍♀️

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

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

[@tess.campbell]

Wishing you the best of luck with the plant.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Indeed some orchids or special, not necessarily because they or hard to find, but because the story that goes with them. Good luck, I hope it does recover!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I think it's lost.

[@Stettafire]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai It's worth a go anyhow. Best of luck

[@naomimittell4961]

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

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I don't think it will.

[@zula6436]

Wow! That's a lot of cinnamon! Good luck 🤞🍀.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@beckyschlegel6777]

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

[@monicagabay5497]

Fingers crossed! I hope the Vanda recovers, as it is so special. 🙏🤞

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@Dachshund-Deon]

Curious to hear if the emergency care was successful.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It's still alive but not doing well.

[@chrisholbourn2793]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsaiupdate??

[@josephrapp]

WOW! IS this the one that bloomed recently? It may come back.hope so.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Yes, but it was a poor spike and many buds blasted.

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

Good luck!

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@bundakiyama]

Really interesting this video

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Thanks.

[@hildewilkens3772]

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..

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

I think the rot was in the whole stem.

[@sivanagarajah913]

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

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

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

[@YnseSchaap]

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

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

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

[@YnseSchaap]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Too bad, really

[@ivander1511]

So how is this vanda now? Has it grown any new roots?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It's still alive and growing - but not really doing well.

[@ivander1511]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Good to hear, do you have any update videos on this orchid?

[@KT-yu8wj]

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

[@carmengomez-munoz4723]

were you able to save the vanda?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Yes - it's just started a spike.

[@gardenfullofcolour]

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??

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Could it be two Vandas?

[@gardenfullofcolour]

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai there I only one vanda on the video being saved?

[@luceadrane225]

Is it sugar cinimon

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Cinnamon is a spice?

[@be6715]

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.

[@edmundzygas6658]

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

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

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

[@aaa86460]

hello nice video i did the same before watching just this morning, did it work for u ?

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

The Vanda continued to rot so as expected, didn't make it.

[@programmerjowo]

is it working

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

Not really but it's still alive and currently in bloom.

[@mausamprasad5128]

Update plz

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It rotted and all the leaves fell off - gone.

[@headstanding_Penguin]

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 🤔

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

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

[@wilairat26atoady]

We can only try to the best we can, here's hoping and wishing.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

It at least has a chance now.

[@bettywilson6351]

Well done, Hannah. Are chemical fungicides more difficult to acquire in the UK than the US? Just curious.

[@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai]

We still have a few available.
