I'd wait for steady warmer weather. Then peal off a bunch of the woody old
leaf bases that can hinder root emergence if they stay too dry. Keep humid
and you shouldn't have any trouble producing roots high enough up to then
cut the plant off and repot. I've taken rootless cuttings 12-18", pealed off
the lowest leaves and hung them over a mist table where some other tropicals
were rooting. Wonderful roots in 2 weeks!

Then pick a friend and give them the headless vanda. IT probably
will keiki. The new growth will use mom's roots for a while
until it gets strong enough to want roots of its own. Once it
starts rooting cut it and pot it up. Took me 18 months on one I
rescued from some ones trash heap. The first keiki bloomed still
attached to the mother plant.
Now I have a 1 inch long new growth started on that old headless
wonder. The original plant has 2 leaves and a good root system.
It has now produced 3 plants, the original top and 2 keikis.
I throw a bit of spanish moss all over to help preserve humidity
near the plant. (At least that was my theory when I did it.)
