Yes, I know about Stanhopea sending spikes downward. I have previously owned a Gongora that did bloom for me in a similar manner and the nursery did tell me. I hope I someday need to worry about the Stanhopea becoming too large. I think it will be a long time! I find the ridged pseudobulbs and leaves very attractive, even though it is now in a 4 inch (10 cm.) pot.
My glass dishes are about 50% spaces between glass. I am not sure which orchids I would use this type of mount with. It is just an idea that I might like to try sometime.
