New Trichosalpinx Chamaelepanthes
Hi all,
I was wondering if I can get some additional advice on this orchid who is a new acquisition.
I know that it likes shade, wants to be moist never dry and will be very unhappy warmer than 80 degrees.
It came to me on a lovely mount, but I notice there is no moss- should I remount this orchid with some moss? Eventually I want to move this orchid to vine around a tree trunk in a vivarium, but that is a ways from now so any new mount would have to be easy to remove from the roots, or easy to wrap around the tree trunk and look natural- so I don't think cork would be a good idea for example.
I sort of feel like happy orchids should not be tampered with as a general rule, so I am wondering if this orchid is susceptible to rot or fungus and that's why it has no mounting medium?
Also, I am unsure what amount of air flow this orchid would like.
