If you mount your pleuro, you're going to need a good high-humidity environment, about 80%+ humidity. Have you got that?

That's right, i mount my pleurothallis and some of them even show sign of unhappiness when the humidity goes down to 71% RH. 80%+ is considered quite high and they kind of love it

Cheers!

I will probably put it in a tank with water on the bottom of it and a heater underneath it.

Heat? Most pleuros need to be kept cool, not warm, unless the temps get near freezing. Have you researched the culture/environmental requirements of pleuros?

Your right about that. I wasn't thinking about that. I was going to do that for humidity.
