Here is my case of inadequate slab for your reference. The roots grew out of the slab, in spring, the moisture in the air was high, so the tips of aerial roots were green. When you don’t provide moisture to the aerial roots in dryer days, it will be turning to yellow end. It doesn’t hurt the plant, just as mentioned, it will grow less leaves and produce less flowers. I assume that you are not going to place it in a greenhouse, if you want to keep the aerial roots ends green, you must have different watering strategies for clinging roots and aerial roots. Or you can bend them back to the slab very carefully after watering as possible as you can.
In spring:


In summer:
Oh wow thank you! Yes I will slightly and gently bend some roots toward the mount to keep It clinging in my place, fog here is an everyday cycle. In the morning, the sun shines but in the afternoon, thick fog will cover our area leaving some roots with water droplets on the tip
And by the way, is that a phalaenopsis? What type?

have you thought of mounting a keiki direct onto a suitable tree or wall, especially if you have outdoor orchids currently. It could also be a cool experiment.

Yes, that would be really awesome! But the hard thing about it is sheltering. On temperate zones, when winter comes, it's really hard to shelter it or transplant it in a mount. but in here in the tropics, that would be great! I will try to TRY that one
