Thank you for the feedback. I definitely plan on having the roots mounted bare. I'll look into the Haraella and Bulbophyllums.

Any thoughts on Dendrobium masarangense or Lepanthpsis rinkei? Those were two others that appear to not mind wet feet.

Thanks!

The water is kept at 75°F. The ambient temperature in my house stays between 74°F at night, 76°F when I am home, and 78-79°F when I'm gone, since it is currently summer.

In the winter, I'd say the ambient gets to about 68-69°F at night/when I'm gone and 72-73°F when I am home.
