I have been weighing the issue of mounting them and the daily watering. David is going to take care of my plants while I am gone. He already takes care of the vandas under my direction. However he is going to learn soon how to water the paphs and then we will tackle the phals. He will have to water the dracula daily so I don't want to add to his burden while I am gone. The grower said mounted or moving them to a bark mixture should be okay. Might try the bark and then move to the mounting if they aren't doing well in bark. I cannot find it now but there was a post on here about mounting bellina in a basket with some cork in it. It was actually one of 4 options that were given. May try that if I can find the post again.
