Mounting a Doritanopsis on a Tree in Florida

Mount with Moss on Removable Limb for Winter Protection

Doritanopsis prefers 55–85°F. Mount on a bed of moss tied to a tree limb you can move when temps drop below 50°F. Hang where it gets early morning sun only. Mist daily in heat (>90°F). No water storage organs—frequent watering needed. Wooden basket is an alternative.
