Den aggregatum v majus

[JackiBlu]

Greetings All --

I just ran across and purchased a very healthy Den aggregatum var majus in a 5in pot full of bulbs. Once I got home and looked it up it says it should be mounted and it doesn't like to be disturbed.

I have a difficult time finding materials here.. (probably coz I am not looking in the right stores?) which since the AOS is less than 10m from my home you'd think we'd be abundant in supplies in every corner of any store.

I want to mount it.. I have only purchased a mounted plant (on grape vine) but it looks pretty simple. I can't find grape vine locally. So.. here are my questions:

Where is it that those who mount can go to a store and locate grape vine ? (SE Florida) I know of a grower in S Florida and can online order, but thought I would like to pick out the shape of the vine myself.

OR . . .

I have a 5"x5" mounting plaque which looks like they are made similar to and from the same company which makes the common vanda baskets.

Since my book says when I mount to make it permanent since it does not like to be moved or divided would this work?

Your wealth of knowledge is very appreciated!
