Grapewood/vine mount
Hi Everyone,
I just received a piece of grapewood or grapevine mount, not sure of the actual name. Anyways, Sue mentioned in the chat room last night that I could always mount more then one orchid to it since it is so large...well larger then I expected, but very cool looking. My question is on watering.....I like to dunk my mounts for watering, but I am not sure if I could fit it and a plant in one of my 5 gallon buckets for watering, so how should I water it....would just giving it a good drenching mist daily work for watering? And if I could fit the mount with the 'chids on it into the bucket, wouldn't I have to worry about the plants soaking in the same water? I will try and post a picture in the next day or so.

Becca, I have a mount Andy did for me with three Haraella's on it. I am sure you can fit it in a 5 gallon pail, if it is full

Becca, I have 6 orchids mounted on a piece of grapewood....2 Ascocentrums, 3 Dendrobiums and a Schoenorchis. I just mist them heavily each day, using fertilized water once a week.
