My vanda Miss Joaquim is all shriveled, it's about 4' tall, still growing (rather slow, though) but it's got small brounish dry looking blotches through the whole length of the plant. It may be fungus, but i'm not sure how fungus look on terete leaves. It's planted in soil for about a year now, (i had it before in just coconut coir). It's out in my balcony in full sun most of the day. Good overall humidity (tropical). All the air roots are skinny too but turn green when sprayed water on. I know it's supposed to be plump, firm and even in color, but it's not, and that really bothers me. I've sprayed anti fungal spray several times, but it seems to have no result. The same with bug spray with same results. Leaves are still green but super skinny and soft.

I spray it almost every morning to get the aerial roots some water, the soil is always kept moist.

I really want some advice, since i love this plant, and dont want to loose it or worse, transfer whatever is has to the others.

thanks in advance for any help
