Mounting Enc.

[vjo]

Do most Enc. like to be mounted?....Jean

[Gage]

Yes. They like to dry quickly, so mounting is a good option. Remember, even mounted they can rot if they don't have enough air circulation and light. But given those things, they are tough critters.

Thanks Gage....Jean

Do I use moss? If so do I use it over or under or both?....Jean (this should be the last question)lol

[The Orchid Boy]

Lots and lots of vendors use it under the roots. I hate that, because then the orchid can't get a really good grip on the mount. I always tie a little moss on top of the roots and then remove it after the orchid is established on its mount.

Thank you orchid boy! I have seen it lots of ways but wasn't sure about Enc. I know they kind of like to dry out so will use just a little of it ...Jean

[Gage]

I would skip the moss unless you have very poor humidity.
