Phalaenopsis mounting question.

Happy 4th. ^_^

Good day.

I was wondering how do you properly mount a phalaenopsis. I have a NOID Phal. and it's not doing real well it's pot it's on. I have it in Better Gro orchid mix and its in a plastic pot with lots of holes in it.

Here some histoy from when I got it. I got it a a hardware store and the flowers didn't look great but the leaves felt fine. I looked at the roots and the ones I saw we're on a little sriviled. I got it for $12 from $30. Cuz of the flowers.
I got it home and reported it. I reported it in merical grow (this was before I knew about the original mix) and the flowers perched to and it made new ones. Then I found out about the MG original and repotted again in Better Gro. I had to cut off most of the roots.
I also cut off the flower spikes so that the poor thing can focus on its roots and leaves.
Now I went to water it today and I has one new roots and the other ones look like crumpled paper.


Thanks you all.

I read online how to do it but I saw two different ways. One was upside down and the other was upright. Which way is the best?? What it's the best mount to mount it to??
