Once a week, i plop the entire plant, mount and all, face down in a bucket of water (or the fish tank) for 15-30 minutes. They are all doing well with this treatment.

Note: Oak Hill is a good one. Many of mine came from there.

Dont be afraid to try mounted stuff. Its not difficult, and only takes a couple minutes a day to tend to them. They are very rewarding as you get to see the plant live and grow so much more realistic. You will learn a lot about the growth habits of orchids by watching roots grow on mount.

That really does not seem that much work. I figured you would have to do a lot more than that. I am already watering whenever any of them start to dry (I use a moisture meter to tell when they are not moist anymore) and mist when it is dry or hot. I look at them all daily to make sure nothing is happening to them.

Hmm... I am tempted to try a mount. Decisions decisions!
