First time mounts
Default First time mounts

I bought these two pieces of I think it's called fernwood, and mounted these Cattleyas. Not sure if one is a Dendrobium because It was a noid.

I used a piece of an clean old net scarf to sort of encapsulate the roots a little and secure them to the mount.

Then I also tied some nylon loosely around some of the canes to prevent it from leaning forward too much. I also put some sphagnum moss between the mount and the orchid.

I'm very apprehensive about the whole thing,. Hope it's okay.

I tried to use different string and fishing line, but felt it was cutting into the plant.

Does this look okay? What do you think? Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance
