Mounting staghorn

17 years ago

I have a common variety staghorn fern that I bought at an orchid grower 1 1/2 yrs ago. At the time it was in potting mix but I now have it growing in a coconut chip based mix. I would eventually like to mount the thing but I am not sure which way is "up". Is there any preferred techniques, medias, etc?

Thanks!
