Yes plant looks dehydrated. I removed the basket (1 x 2 inches) for my Wanda and placed it in the glass vase, water at least once a week by submerging it's roots in warm water and let it sit for 15-30 min. Then drain, leaves can be sprayed but I wouldn't as it is really hard to get the water out between the leaves and stem areas.
@PlantsForFun haha. If you’re in the same situation, I would suggest pulling the plant out of the pot, if you can, and setting it in a bowl full of water just making sure not to submerge the leaves. Alternatively, if you can’t get it out of the pot just set the entire thing in a container of water and, same thing, just don’t submerge the leaves. You’d want to let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
@livslillies I’d deffo recommend the same kind of setup as @Floristsdaisy. Once you get your vanda in the right setup it should bounce right back :)
I agree with what's said. However, am I correct in seeing that there are not only wrinkles but light, thinned out spots? If so, it might pay off to take a very good magnifying glass and additionally check for pests. False spider mites and broad mites are tiny and cannot be seen otherwise and are known to wreak havoc on orchid leaves. Just to be sure, as not all of it looks like dehydration to me
