Newest mount - Angraecum diderii

[Dusty Ol' Man]

I received this awhile back and have been busy acclimating it to my growing conditions. Just mounted it two days ago. (I know WaterWitchin will approve)

Looks great, the way you wrapped the roots looks very natural. My mounted didieri loves its new digs, I’m sure yours will too

Angraecums have the best roots!

Sweet mount. Mine bloomed this spring with a 2nd bud starting but I used twine, I know, ugly, but I'm learning. I learn a lot from great pictures like yours. Thanks.

Once it attaches to the mount, you can remove the strings, but do give it a chance to establish for a couple of years. I use nylon monofilament fish line like DOM does, which blends in and is easy to use. And cheap and available.

Thank you for the advice. I've had it for almost 3 years, bought it as a seedling, so it's very well attached but I was worried about cutting the ties that bind it. It'll look so much better as the string is grotty. I'm off to do some snipping.
