Good question.
you can mount that phal anytime without it bothering too much unless in bloom, then it will effect bloom longevity only.
MY concern would be air movement in the terrarium.
Without air movement you have stagnant air that fosters all kinds of mold and fungi growth, non of which are a phals freind.
the raised humidity is the point of a terrarium and is what phals thrive on, that humidity with spur new root growth on your phal.
Do you have PC fans mounted aboves to circulate the air and allow for some drying of the mount after watering?
