for Tindomul1of9: mounting info

[cb977]

One of the speakers we had at a recent meeting demonstrated repotting and mounting. It wasn't a very detailed lesson, but it seemed simple enough. He said to use something that is kind of rough or has something for the roots to grab on to. He had a really nice piece of driftwood, in sort of an L-shape. It had a lot of nooks and crannies in it. He had a rather large Catt (not in bloom) along with some moss and fishing line. He put a little patch of moss up on the wood first then positioned the plant, held it in place while he put a little more moss and then tied the fishing line around it. He said some people do it without the first bunch of moss, and some with no moss at all. He also had some Dynomite fertilizer and put just a pinch of that right into one of the nooks prior to putting on the first layer of moss. Of course, he's been doing it a long time and can probably do it with his eyes closed. The whole thing took about 2 minutes. I'm expecting to spend a bit more time when I do it and I'll probably be praying for an extra set of hands but I plan on giving it a try. How hard could it possibly be???
