first time mount

[OhioBob]

First think I want to say is that this board is feeding my orchid addiction. Now that is out I can continue.

So I decided to try mounting a 'chid. I had a small den. Woon Leng in a 2 inch pot and it was looking like time to repot. So I did what several writer on here have talked about and potted on the bottom of a pot. I half filled the pot with sphagnum and have a plastic circle glued into the pot to hold the moss. My thought is that will provide a little extra moisture. Using fishing line is harder than anyone said so in desperation I went with rubber bands.

Any suggestions to make it easier on the next mount? Also how long will it take for the new roots to take hold? There are quite a bit of new roots in the moss.
