Mounting Dendrobium lindleyi in low humidity?
I have a Dendrobium lindleyi (a.k.a. aggregatum var. majus) that I rescued and I was curious about mounting it. The thing is I have low humidity ranging from 46%-60%, usually around 50%. I grow under T5 lights and put the D. lindleyi by a south window in winter for the resting period. With such low humidity should I even consider mounting?
I had a little cattleya once that died from not having enough water on a mount. I have really good air movement and when I mist my orchids their leaves and flowers totally dry of the mist in 10 minutes or less. I had it mounted on cork with a little sphag covering its roots.
Advice?
