Although S/H is a good resource for Brassavolas (I have a couple in the
same), the Brassavola seems to enjoy cork mounts. In some cases, I used
Tilly Tack to mout some deflasked seedlings (don't over-do the glue,
especially on the roots). After several months, they are thriving. They
seem to enjoy indirect light, not direct sun. Tilly Tack has worked for
some Vanda seedlings, too (use sparingly). In fact, one little seedling
fell from its cork mount on to a Coelogyne leaf, where it grew for several
months. I thought it an anomoly until I noticed a bit of Tilly Tack (Yes,
my eyesight isn't the best).

I have a Brassavola Little Stars that is mounted to a flat, smooth slab
with a wired wad of moss on the bottom. (Not an elegant description,
but you get the idea.) Because I'm an indoor grower, mounted things do
not work easily or well for me, and I'd like to move this plant to S/H.
I have 4 other Brassavolas that are in S/H, and they are incredibly
lush and happy in that media. The problem is that many of the mounted
plants' roots have grown into the flat slab and some are embedded in
the moss wad. There are more roots in the moss and growing into the
slab than there are aerial roots. How can I move this plant to S/H--or
should I?
