Your initial post has apparently expired, but from memory, I don't think the
symptoms you reported would be fertilizer-related.

Is it potted? If so, in what?
Yes. It is in a 22cm/9in clay pot with pieces of fir bark about 1-3 in
large. There is lots of air in there, for fear of rot.
My first instinct was to say you're not watering often enough, but that
is
probably because around here, vandas are grown "bare in the basket" and
watered daily [2x/day during the worst heat of summer]. I wouldn't know
if
2x/week is enough for one in a pot, never having tried it.
Well, the fir bark is totally dry when I water. I will try to step up
the watering and see if it helps.
Next thought was fungus. It wouldn't hurt, and might help, to spray it
with
hydrogen peroxide. The usual recommendation for spraying peroxide for
"general hygiene" seems to be 4 oz/gallon [of the 3% solution most
commonly
sold in drug stores], but I have seen it used full strength without harm
to
plants.
I will try to get hold of some tomorrow.
Could it be fertilizer related?
