Advice for Neo in moss mound?
Default Advice for Neo in moss mound?

I recently acquired a Neofinetia falcata 'Isechabo' planted in a very, very loose moss mound - photos are attached. Does anyone have experience with this growing method? My original plan was to repot into bark once new roots started, but I kind of like the mounded look. Not sure if it's good for my conditions, however, so I'm looking for advice. It's currently on a heat mat under lights, ~30-40% humidity this time of year. Most of my orchids go outside during the summer when the temps and humidity are much higher. Right now I'm spraying the moss every morning and it dries to a crunch within 24-48 hours. Would a tighter mound need less frequent watering? Would the orchid do better if the mound was more tightly packed? Would bark be a better choice?

Thanks for any advice!
