Thank you Sausage for the new pikkies of your mountings. You know you said cork? Well is that instead of Bark? Is that more sterile perhaps? Just thinking could you use a chunk of polystyrene? Oh stop laffin at me. I don't know these things, that's why I have to ask silly questions Man!! Huh

Lornie, it is actually CORK BARK, means bark from real cork tree, it is recommended for many orchids, pricier than other mounting stuff but I have my good suppliers, so piece like this comes to around 4-5 bucks:-) it looks great and work perfect, roots can really GROW into it due to its structure, love it! Search cork bark on google, you'lll see:-) G'nite honey, talk to you tomorrow, let us know what did you buy and how did you solve it at the end, wanna hear:-)

you need something that will LAST, I would definitely not go for polystyrene :-) However, you must have some drift woods maybe somewhere in your English countryside, or some nice branch? Something it could be attached to? Try to see if there is some local florist, or supplier for gardening, they should have at least something, I mean, maybe the tree fern, or drift wood, or cork bark or regular bark, If I had some trees around me, I would get it from the nature:-)

Or try that REPTILE store, some local seller of animals, fishies, lizards, snakes, they will have stuff for terrariums, that will definitely work just fine!
