Once a week isn't enough. They need water daily. Unlike catleyas and other, similar species, vandas don't have the wherewithal to store water. Phalenopsis are similar in this regard. So water them thoroughly every day (preferably in the AM) and fertilize with a weak mixture. Miracle gro was developed for orchids, so that's fine. I use pellets of "Dynamite" fertilizer in little notions bags. Anyway, good luck with them!
Thanks.... my orchids are the Phalenopsis
