Short roots on Vanda. Leave it as is or rehabilitate?

    This is my new vanda. The roots seemed long when the plant was in the vase but when I lifted it out, the turned out to be broken off. This is what it looks like now. So, the question is - is it going to survive with these short little roots or should I take action to rehabilitate it?
    Thanks

    Thank you, Steve. I'll try to keep the environment as moist as I can to make it produce new roots or grow old ones... my method worked for my miltoniopsis. See image below. Hope it works for vanda too
