| About 5 years ago I was in California and I visited Andy's Orchids in San Diego. I walked into his cool house (not small) and the walls were covered with mounted Masdevallias and Pleuros, a few Bulbos, and a few other things. There must have been 2000-3000 plants mounted hanging there. This told me that many Masdevallias can actually do really well mounted....(and you all knew this line was coming next)....if the culture they like is well maintained, namely high humidity, hight moisture. Andy's cool house felt like a cool steam bath if you can imagine such a thing. The daytime hight temp was somethign like 70-72F but it must have been around 100% humidity.
Question: If the lifespan of sphag used to pot Massies is relatively short, how would one replace it on a mount? Does it last longer with a mount?
