Well, I have several mounted on my palm trees and I wasn't aware of the upside down thing, but they are doing fine. At first, they did get a little sunburned on one or two of the leaves, but that didn't stop them from pushing flower spikes. I wrappped the roots in orchid moss and mounted them with the stretchy green tape. They are also outside. They drain relatively easy when it rains. They seem to like the symbiosis that they have with the palm trees where the water comes down out of the crown and pours down the trunk. The moss gets wet, and the water pours out of it so they seem to get only what they need. The roots have also grown out of the moss and have taken over the job of holding the plant on the tree. I could use some ideas on mounting dendrobiums on a tree.
