If I can stop giggling here for a second...ummm...hmmm. Ok. I have an encyclia as well. Mine isn't mounted but it is potted with very little media. Drains very quickly and doesn't stay moist at all really. I would guess that these plants want to send roots out on a mission FOR water. Not because of its presence. I'd try to keep it humid but potted or mounted in such a way that it will dry very quickly...but water fairly often once root growth begins.
