That's how they are "mounted" in the wild. No need to worry about root rots because all excess water would either get drained or evaporated. Just makes sure the humidity is high enough to retain enough moisture until the next watering cycle.

It does up the work you have to do.. Basically everything that I could think of went up on a mount this year, including an oncidium and an odontogossum. I went from zero to 80 mounts. Like I say tho, I do think they are looking better for it.
