My first mounted orchid.(pics)

[Lene Th.]

Theres a first for all things, they say, and also for this.
I have a phal i got for free, and it didnt seem to like its environement in the pot it came with.
I decided to repot the poor thing, and mabye try something new.
This is quite a small phal, and its got some discolor on the leaves. I figured id give mounting a shot, and place it into my mini greenhouse with a lots of seeds.
Its a moisty invironement.

I used a wooden-root with a natural small cave with a hole to mount the little phal.
Then I tangled the phals roots thru the hole and around the wood, used Sphagnum mose around and inside to fit the phal into the cave. And some small bites of bark to increase dreining betwen some of the smaller roots. Pulled some sphagnum mose around the hole root-system, and used larger bark to protect the roots from where the string crosses over them to keeps it all together. I used hamp-wire as string (hope it wount decompose to fast... )

Id be happy is someone had any coments on this? Does it look as it should?
Heres some picks.



In this pic theres a closeup on some of the thicker roots tangled around the wood.
