to OB Starallconverse. Look on left side of home page under forums. Look Under set up, there's some excellent threads on mountings. Great stuff.

Mounted phals, i.e., leaves down, roots up, can take no more sun than a potted one. They naturally grow "upside down" so water sheds off them and doesn't collect in the crown. Most grow low to the forest floor where they are protected from bright, direct sun by the leaf canopy.

Hope this helps.
