Just one point to make on pot growing Vandas and other Vandaceous plants.

They will happily go into pots, as of course the extra moisture is greatfully accepted.

But If you take them out of pots to grow hanging again, then unless you give them very good humidity they can slow down dramatically. This is because Vanda roots in pots seem to grow differently to the 'aerial roots' and pot roots wont be used to the sudden lack of humidity and water availability.

Some would argue once you put them in pots it would be best to leave them there for good.
