Ok, so mounting the plant and there are now TWO sections. The pbulbs that held the two sections together have died.
Ive got one with two pbulbs and the other has 4.
Should I just mount them together?

I think it's up to you, but since they are totally separated I would probably mount/pot them separately. If you do mount them together though, you want the growing points to be facing away from each other or else the 2 parts will grow right into each other!

Very good point. I think I will mount them together though but in opposite directions. lol
Still pretty disappointed in the quality of my plant though. 6 leaves total.  |

That actually sounds like a reasonable size. It's not a very fast grower, and my previous one was no bigger than that when I got it.

Just checked the tracking of my Soph's package, and the box arrived in the Netherlands this evening!! So I MIGHT get it tomorrow  If it does that'll be the fastest I've ever gotten orchids from Germany. Now time to follow it more precisely on the Dutch postal system tracking.

I don't think you should be disappointed mine is that size it's a very small plant I can tell mine has bloomed so don't be too disheartened. I think most of us got plants around that size. |

Mine hasnt bloomed before unless it was from the dead pbulbs.
Im not really disappointed, its the wrong word, but yea. Just sad its not more impressive in the foliage department.
Regardless, Im uploading my mount pictures. Im actually really happy the way it turned out.
