Meiracyllium trinasutum--pot or mount?

[DanRichman]

Hi, all, and Happy New Year!

My question to you is this: do you think Meiracyllium trinasutum, or any orchid with a similar creeping growth habit, could be happy in a pot?

Mine came mounted on cork. Even after I covered the exposed roots with sphagnum, after watering (soaking) every morning, it is still dry as a bone at the end of every day (because of the fan, even though it's only intermittent). It's in a 22-gallon terrarium in which I'm trying to control for temperature, light, air circulation, and humidity.

I don't mind watering it every day. In fact, I enjoy it. But I worry that when I travel, it may suffer if my cat- and plant-sitter forgets. Potting it would mean less frequent waterings.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
