A friend in Australia has a large collection of Tols. He said to mount them without using any sphag.( Here is a perfect example of what works in one evnvironment not working in another.
) In the year that they were mounted as he directed, I had no new growth and no new root attachment. At least that made it easy to take them off their mounts and put them in pots,lol.
While they were mounted a few of them died and another grower said that it was probably rot caused by water being trapped in the crown at night. She said she shakes her plants and turns them upside down to make sure no water is trapped in those fans. Anyway, since I have put them in pots I have plenty of new growth and even a couple of spikes
Of course they are outside now with better air circulation, but you are right--it is a learning experience! Tolumnia blooms are awesome so keep at it
