Oh my good grief!! Trying to mount aerangis punctata, with plant and roots combined no bigger than the end of my thumb... on drift wood with fishing line... STRESS!!

I hope the poor little thing survives the ordeal... not sure my nerves did!

Good luck. These tiny ones can be really tricky.

I've not tried mounting such a tiny one, but I have a tiny tiny size of your thumb orchid (Lepanthes calodictyon) that I had to gently put into a glass bauble. It was so tricky. I think I need to change it's medium as well soon and I'm not looking forward to that

Phal lobbii? I didn't realise they were that small? I've been off and looked for piccys of it, but very few pics show something u can use for size comparison

If it's little enough it can be the next baby in my tank!

I've had mine mounted for about 2 years and each leaf is aprox. 1" long...
