Stay away from the 'foam bricks' as a mount. Those are only temporary and will deteriorate quickly, leaving your plant without support and possibly killing it in the mean time.

I would stick with a natural mount like tree fern or cork, something the roots can cling to. One thing you can do is to bag your mount while you are gone and not able to water. Even bagging just the root area helps.
