My 2 cents
Yes, mounting needs experience. Orchids that like it wet, will grow perfectly on tree fern. But I donīt buy it anymore because of protecting the endangered population. We threaten the ferns, so donīt forget: There are no fern plantations! The ones who like to dry rapidly I mount on bark. Cork bark is good, walnut is great and normally gratis. Other fruit-tree bark like apple or peach wil do it fine as well. And there are good results on driftwood, oakwood....there are a plenty of factors, and you have to have a kind of sure instinct or green thumb. And donīt forget the moss base, what kind of moss and so on.
Donīt be shy! Mount!
