a newbie with an ??Ascocenda??

[diogo]

Hi everyone!

Like all the newbies here, i bring another problem!!! I don't really know what happens with this plant... i bought it a bit distressed about one year ago, the leaves were looking tough and nice, so as the roots hanging outside the plastic pot where it was strangely potted (the roots were starting to break because of being forced to hang in a not good position). I cut the old dry spike out and only could realize that the flowers from the other plants around were small, with strong yellow petals and sepals and a dark pink/purple lip, what makes me think it could be big mixture 'around' Ascocenda (Vanda x Ascocentrum). I decided to get this one because the plant itself was looking better!!

Thereby i decided to get it a nice wooden cedar basket on the internet and potted. After this procedure, and probably because of the weak substract it was into (eventhough i know they don't need so much... more humid air, good high temperatur and nice afternoon light - 5-8h), the older leaves (5, at least) started to fall and all the plant got a bit wrinkly, so as the roots, i decided to add a one-hand Sphag moss to the basket.
In the picture i send you can see what i mean with "wrinkly"!
The basket is turned to a south window, with sun during a big part of the day, but i live in Berlin, and sun is not so much what we have here. Also the temperatures are not so high but i try to keep it in the bathroom, where the air is more humid and warm.

Meanwhile the leaves are not falling anymore but it looks exactly like when i bought her, not one root, not one leave!!! I try to give it water every day by sprinkling and make this "water-for-about-20-30 min-stuff" to the roots once a week!! This makes me really sad, what can i still do for it to grow better? I know i don't have the pefect conditions, but i would like to try it!!!

I hope not to be too boring with my story and that you can understand clearly what i mean! Thank you for reading until here!
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

tks.
