The new mount looks very attractive sandra. Regardless of whether an orchid is potted or mounted, the plant has the same cultural requirements so the needs of the plant have not changed. What will change (potentially) are your care habits i.e. how often and how you water, whether or not you mist, etc., etc.

As a general rule mounted plants require more humidity. In Florida I doubt this will be a problem though as I know Florida is often humid. For the next several months and again as the seasons change you will need to carefully watch the new mount to see if ti is drying out too much or if ti is staying moist enough. Things like watering frequency may or may not change.
