Mounting vanilla planifolia indoors on cork around window frame... ideas? Female
Default Mounting vanilla planifolia indoors on cork around window frame... ideas?

I have several vanilla orchids that I have this hairbrained idea to mount around a window frame on cork "branches". I'd arrange the branches starting about waist height and going to the top of the windowsill, with more branches spanning the top of the window (though it would likely take years for the vines to get that long, and I have no expectations of flowers).

I've attached photos of the cork, the window, and the orchids. I've had them since Sept under Kessil grow lights and they've been growing, albeit slowly. They seem to be doing fine with the ambient humidity and I'd like to move them to the living room windowframe where they can be better appreciated and have a permanent home. I would intend to mist them every day or two as I have been.

On the other side of the window is a sun room, so there's no direct sun coming into the window.

Has anyone mounted orchids on cork indoors before that wasn't a show display? I've never done this, and a bit concerned about future repotting of the plant once it's permanently attached to the cork on the wall. Should I just hook the pots on the cork itself for easy watering?

The cork also has some natural knots/holes in it and I'm wondering about the potential to mount up a few more species in those. Maybe non-climbing species can have their pots nestled in the holes and allowed to cascade down? Any suggestions or resources you can think of to help?

Thanks!

*edited to add* The vast majority of my knowledge is from the internet, and I'm still pretty beginner with orchids. MissOrchidGirl on Youtube has been my primary educator. I've managed to rebloom a Phal, killed a dracula orchid in short order with an accidental afternoon of sun, and saved a Paph orchid seedling from said afternoon. Everything else has survived so far despite a fight with spider mites that seems to be over.
