hi guys,
I have a dead tree fern trunk from a garden I am working on (it was dead when I got there, honest!) and I am thinking about cutting it up into hanging pots and mounting one or maybe more of my orchids. I grow indoors so I will have to find some ingenious reservoir/drip water or wicking system to keep them moist. My space is limited (hence starting to grow vertically) and it would be in front of a north west facing window. The humidity at the moment is around 55-60%. Possibly going outdoors if that helps during the summer.

Does anyone grow on tree fern mounts indoors? And how do you find watering them?

Are there any orchids from my possible mounting list that may do better mounted than potted?;
Angraecum viguieri - this is the one I want to mount but I'd hate to lose it.
Cattleya dowiana
Cattleya intermedia X R.digbyana
Cattleya luminosa
Cyrtochilum ramosissimum
Dendrobium harveyanum
Masdevallia caudivolvula
Phal 'Kung's Green Star' (mini)
I have lots of Oncidiums, Brassias, Rossio, Psychopsis etc but I think these are going to get too big for what I have in mind.
Thanks for any thoughts.
