This was the first time I ever mounted an orchid, his poor guy just wasn't doing well so I tried my hand at mounting something other than Broms, one year later its growing lots of roots and I'm hoping for blooms soon.

It looks like you're getting some nice new root growth.

Your mount looks great. The orchid looks very happy and well grown.

Really a nice mounting job. I have wondered about removing the nylon thread once the plant is secured on the mount. Should I or shouldn't I?

Once you're sure the plant is secure to the mount with several roots, you can remove the ties. I personally think it looks much nicer once the ties are removed.

I didn't use nylon thread, I used cotton thread, because I didn't want to worry about removing it, I think it will just rot and fall off, like I said it was my first time mounting so I might have been wrong by using cotton thread but it is working out so far
