Default hang them

just to share with everyone, if space was your problem...mount the neps on fern barks or woody branches wrapped with sphagnum moss. sometimes neps were found in the wild to grow on moss pads of tree trunks and branches, with little nutrients except on incoming wind laden with moitsure, thus my idea of replication.

if plant like that, i will never think of report them, because all of the media was organic to it, and it's size will getting larger and larger, which means more free space for them....this is what i thought...haha

That is an awesome idea;the roots continually grow, which is the soil xD but doesnt that mean you would have to watch the roots like a hawk to see if its damp? eh, Ill stick to vermiculite, no mold or rot, and doesnt compact as much as wet sphagnum. i would still try and pick a good sized mound of roots, because, in my experience with vigorous species like sanguinea, there roots will actually get quite bigger and more extensive than other species=)

How well i can keep, will see how it goes. So far so good . I fine mist it in the morning, noon, evening and keep it under cool shade with indirect sunlight.
