Absolutely. I have an Oncidium sphacelatum that I unpotted and divided
a few years ago; it was always wanting to climb out of the pot and
wander, so I mounted 3 separate pieces. One is on a slab of cork that I
keep vertical; one on cork that I keep horizontal; and one on a tree
fern slab that is usually vertical. They reside in different areas of
the greenhouse.
All 3 are in full bloom right now, and all are *very* happy. I have
seen no real differences between the spikes or flowers among the 3
different mounting techniques.
