You have put your finger on the secret. For years I struggled with mounted orchids - thinking trhat I could get away with watering them when I was at home, and they would put up with the dry days when I was away ; when I stopped travelling ( so much) and they really got attention every day , the difference was tremendous.
Best stick to pots rather than mounts until you are rarely away.
