I would suggest mounting or basket with perhaps a bit of large bark. Then you get the rapid drying that it wants with no particular effort... My Cyms need more water than the L anceps and they get watered by the same sprinklers. But with the same amount and frequency of watering, the Cyms stay damp and the L anceps dry out. (That's generally what I do... I figure I can make the water-don't water decision every day for every plant, or I can make the decision every 2-3 years when I repot, adjust the medium to the needs of the plant, and water everybody the same. The latter is a lot easier with about 1700 plants.)
