My first mounted orchid. P Bellina var Coerulea Male
Default My first mounted orchid. P Bellina var Coerulea

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share pics of my first mounted orchid. I had purchased a cork slab a while ago but never got to it... I used my Phal Bellina Var Coerulea which was in a small 2.5 in pot. I drilled lots of 1/8" holes under the bottom layer of sphagnum moss to allow it to breath and only used small amounts of moss all tied tightly (but not to tight to brake the roots) with 50 Pound braided dark green fishing line (I fish a lot). The plant is very stable.

Any constructive criticism is welcome and tips on how to make the pot to mount transition smooth? I don't want to kill this plant

Also regarding the watering, what's your best practice??

Thanks in advance!
