ugly but effective: plastic net pot in votive candle holders, starbucks and other brands plastic coffee cups, one inside another, the inner one is used as s/h pot with holes about 1 inch from the bottom, the outer one is to catch the drain off water. makes watering so much easier.

My most exotic material is Port Orford Cedar (arrow wood). I use this for many of my mounts. It's impossible to get nowadays.

What a great thread! ummm...let's see...I haven't really mounted on anything or potted in anything "off the beaten path" so to speak...but great topic anyway!

I've been using the traditional clay orchid pots and plastic pots. But I do have a rock I found at work that I'm thinking of using to make a mount.
