Well, unfortunately I killed the Masdie. I mounted it using silicone and string, I should have just used the string. Becuase I used silicone I left the Masdie high and dry over an extended weekend so that the silicone would dry out. This killed the Masdie's roots and therefore killed the plant. Everything was a big ball of brown mush by last week.
Moral of the story, never use silicone on a plant that needs to be kept humid!
Maybe I will try again someday.
By the way, this was my first orchid victim
