How to mount Phlebodium areolatum? Male
Default How to mount Phlebodium areolatum?

I want so badly to have my Phlebodium areolatum in my orcidarium - But thers no bottom space left for it. and i have read somewhere that they can be mounted!
But just how to do this?

Right now its growing in a 2" pot with soil - i have some Cork and spagnum to mount with - but i wonder just how to do this!

I have mounted lots of phals and dendrobiums, and i normal use cork with some spag and some cocohusk - the coco just for the look of it!

So is it just to take it out of its pot, clean roots pack them in spag and mount? And judt how wed does it have to be!

pleas help

What does it look like? Is this normally a terrestrial, or is it lithophytic?

Oooh, its a polypodium fern. Um, maybe you can attach it to very porous substrate. Tree fern, of cocofiber. Something that will stay wet and will allow the rhizoids and stems to enter and grow within.

I suspect this is a Phlebodium pseudoaureum but even if not I'm sure it could be treated the same way. It can be mounted to cork but this is a big fern if it's like P pseudoaureum and can have fronds 3-4 feet.

It may do a bit better on tree fern where it can dig into the mount but I have seen it grow on an aluminum frame with nothing at all.
