| If you use tree fern you will notice the fibers of the tree fern will run horizontal or vertical depending on how you hold it. If I have a plant that wants more moisture like a bulbo, I mount the plant with the fibers running horizontal because the water is trapped in the fibers. Even in a g/h I am not going to water anything more than once a day :>)
For a plant that needs to dry out by night time. keep the fibers in a vertical position. The trapped water runs out much faster.
Catts + Columbus, OH + long winter = run the fibers horizontal. With most catts watering is at a minimum in the winter and you might not have to even water every day, let alone multiple times a day.
If you want to try hardwood mounts, you should be able to find cedar planks at your grocery that are used for charcoal grilling. They are a great size and are about $5 for two of them.
