Looks good. Do you have to turn them over at all?

Now that is alot of vandas!
They look very healthy!!! Lots of babies!!!
Did the seedlings arrive this large or did you get them a few weeks now? What special treatment are you giving until the roots are okay? They look well.
@Bruce: I just place them on a mesh table i made out in my greenhouse,air circulation is good here so no problem with them getting fungus or the dreaded rot.They will be in that manner for about a week or two until new roots are evident.Then they are potted individually in 3.5inch vanda plastic baskets.
@Dail: Yes they arrive big and healthy, i was quite happy about it since i was expecting small plants turns out to be bigger than i thought. For treating newly arrived seedlings i first air them overnight and the next day soak them in weak solution of fertilizer and Physan ( a disinfectant) for about an hour and air dry them again then place them in group as seen in my picture.What you see here are a day old from the time they arrived.
By the way, here's the names of the seedlings i got:
Mericlones:
V. Manuvadee FCC
V. Pachara Delight FCC/JOGA
V. Ratchaburi Thanasiri
V. Ratchaburi Pink
Hybrids:
V. Pimchai Beauty - Taweesuksa X V. coerulea
V. Soroa Cherry Bomb X V. Bitz Heartthrob
V. Pure's Wax X V. Bitz Heartthrob
V. Dr. Anek FCC X V. Bitz Heartthrob

Hi Sui ! Please define the term 'SOME' ! hehe such a huge shipment ! I have the first and the last hybrid they are wonderful and then in these numbers they will be astonishing. do post the pictures when they are in bloom.
@Amey: That's wonderful.i still haven't seen blooms of both V. Pimchai Beauty -Taweesuksa X V. coerulea and V. Dr. Anek X V. Bitz Hearththrob...Do you have pictures of their blooms? Care enough to share with us here?
Not bloomed for me yet, I guess they will bloom this year. Pimchai beauty is smaller but V Anek X V. BH is a very big plant around 2 feet, should definitely flower this year.
