You don't want Pelatantheria insectifera info from me. My one attempt with this one ended badly for the orchid.

I recently acquired both orchids. Both of them are cuttings. Pelatantheria insectifera is the second time. I hope it will survive this time. Trichoglottis fasciata is the first time. Any advice is very appreciated.

I have no clue on what to tell you, but I did find this; Dr. Giuseppe MAZZA Journalist - Scientific photographer > Pelatantheria insectifera not much info on the Trichoglottis fasciata only that it does like cool to warm temps. Good Luck!!
I have one that blooms quite regularly, they can take a fair amount of sun and they are growing on a piece of wood. It is rather slow growing I must say. Cute little flowers

I have a Trichoglottis fasciata (correctly Staurochilus fasciatus) and I grow along side Vandas and like full sun and grow like a vine. I got mine as a seedling and it has grown well and yet to bloom. Some of my friends here grow Pelatantheria insectifera and grow mostly like a vandaceous culture.
Thank you everyone for the advice
I think I will mount them and hope for the best.

WOW!! Yours look very healthy. I hope mine will grow as strong and healthy as yours. But is that an alba form? It looks white and the lip is not purple/pink.
Oops! That pelatantheria ctenoglossa
My insectifera grows faster and blooms way more often than my ctenoglossa
