My First Mount: Mini phal on mopani

[Beansprout77]

Hellooo!

After seeing a post on Instagram from @botanygeek, and trawling Pinterest, I've found myself slightly obsessing over mounted orchids, they are just so gorgeous!

So after a weekend if research, here's my first mount. I went diving in the aquatic shop's mopani wood pallets to find the perfect piece. Boiled, then Wrapped with some sphagnum and loose thread. (See pics)

I've got a couple of extra bits of mopani wood and id love to do another mount, or on a terracotta pot with some peacock or java moss and a fern or something, just trying to find a research path to tell me which types I can use and examples! If anyone has any recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it 🙂
