Mary, I don't believe closed-cell building foam is toxic at all. We shroud our houses with it. It's rigid, cheaper than the nivilty cones and comes in 4'x8' sheets. You could make a great wall to push the mounts into and it would be waterproof so you could spray it. Is there a down side? It only comes in pink and light blue (as far as I know). The white foam is comprised of small closed cell beads that are cemented together. It is fragile, breaks down easily, is easily damaged and probably not suitable. Hope all this helps your decision.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
