Mounting ideas for Bulbophyllum vaginatum

[greenhouseFrog]

I got a freebie in the form of this section of Bulb. vaginatum last night! After some due diligence, it seems that these little guys would prefer higher temperatures and plenty of water, which is right up my alley.

I don’t have the desire to containerize it, but I wasn’t sure exactly what to do with it—tie it to a tree bare root and water the heck out of it everyday? Or perhaps a hanging piece of would with a bunch of holes drilled into it for more surface area and places for water to infiltrate?

I’ve even thought about placing it on an old palm boot mass that’s been colonized by some moss and ferns…Seems like a moist hangout?

I’ve been stubborn as a donkey when it comes to using moss on mounts—the palm boot came to mind specifically because of my aversion to moss, but desire for a more moisture retaining substrate. I’m sure the moss would make the plant’s life easier and inevitably rot away anyways, but I have this obsession(probably at the plants’ expense)with bare root mounting that I haven’t gotten over.

Any ideas/thoughts/criticism are appreciated and I thank you in advance!
