    Hi Nancy, yes they can. I have several mounted on cut pieces of cedar. If you get a freeze in winter you will need to protect any orchids outside.

    No media at all - best in a mounted in a basket, tree fern, cork or wood. Both genera do not like their roots disturbed and both are intolerant of stale conditions around the roots. Their roots want to hang free. Mounting the plants means they do have to be watered often during hot weather with humidity kept high.
