Hi and welcome to Orchidboard

What you're calling a Brassavola is actually a Bc Little Mermaid 'Janet', which is actually Brassocattleya (or used to be until they changed it again! but that's another story )

I know of folks who have Bc's mounted but I think the majority of folks would agree that potting it would be the way to go. Your vanda can do very well here in a basket with nothing, or with some bark or Epiweb to hold it in place. I also have a number of vandas just attached to a hanger with no basket at all.

Keep in mind, anything that you have mounted or hanging takes a little more time and effort to care for. Here in Florida, during the warm months...okay, most of the year , my mounts and vandas get heavily misted at least twice a day.

If you need help with anything, let us know. The folks here are the best!

What part of Florida are you in?
