Gladys I have a very hard time with mounts in my climate zone. You have more humidity then I do but it is still hot and dry most of the year. I put the few mounts I have under my nose so I can water them almost every day and I have given up on growing outside except for Laelia anceps. The one mount I have that is doing great is a little species, Phal fasciata. Currently it has two spikes and just loves me; go figure. I will post pics when they peek out.

Just a thought.......what kind of moss are you using?? Since I now use only Grade AAA NZ spraghum I have had much better results and it holds moisture longer. The stuff sold in stores just doesn't do the job.
