Does anyone grow rupicolous/saxicolous orchids mounted...?
I have an obscure (?) orchid species that is noted to be saxicolous that grows in similar habitats to some rupicolous laelias. Due to its rambly nature, I have mounted it but I'm slowly realizing that it needs very high moisture to thrive.
I just read a paper noting that my plant supposedly grows on inselberg rock croppings amongst the mosses and lichens, rupicolous laelias and relatives. (alas! i.e. very high humidity. I thought it was very dry based on in situ photos I saw before.) While I know it isn't the same, I was curious if anyone grows rupicolous orchids mounted and how they've fared.
While it has done fine for the last 6 months, I'm trying to decide if I should try to pot this plant somehow.
