Orchids!! One is One too many, One more is never enough.!!!

That looks like you did it properly. I'm sure you're aware that it will need water often. Good luck.

That looks good. The only thing I might have done a little differently would be to put some sphagnum between the plant and the mount to hold the leaves angled out away from the mount a little bit.

Thanks for the reply,Jeff
I intend on misting it daily .
I understand that those roots will die,but new different type roots should grow.
There is a lot to learn with orchids,yet it is all fun and educational.

That looks very good! Well done!

Orchids are very eloquent.They tell their master by their appearance , how they are treated.

I've had the best luck with mounted species phals. This one looks pretty good. In my watering conditions, I would probably need a bit more moss for the roots or the orchid would dry out too quickly.

cheers,

Love it! That 's going to look so good when it spikes again for you. Congratulations on the plant and on branching out so boldly.

Yes Jenn,you may be right,about using more moss. This is my first attempt at mounting any type orchid.
