Ken, all my Brassavola types love it on their cork mounts. The ones in baskets suffer much more from black spot because the pb's are crowded together more. On the mounts the leaves grow outwards in all directions. they aren't quite so 'neat' looking but are much healthier.

That is best for my conditions, of course. You really can't overwater a plant on a mount, and here, when it rains every day through the summer that air and drainage are the keys to keeping the plants healthy.

If you are selling these plants for indoor use, be sure to give instructions to mist daily, and douse the plants often!
