Also saw some seedling in 2" pots for $6.

I just bought a compot from this EBay seller and the plants are very very healthy. I got about 25 seedlings out of the pot. I didn't get cernua though. He actually volunteers for some big nurseries in Hawaii and gets paid in plants. My compots tag was from H&R so I think that is one of the nurseries he volenteers for. He is a really nice man. He was probably one of the nicest eBay sellers I have ever bought from. If you want a compot, I highly recommend buying from him.

Could you also put some of the moss in back of the orchid to cushion it against the wood also? That, in my mind, would add some extra layer for humidity then if put into a glass or cup with stones. I think I might be thinking out loud but not sure. Let me know what you think.

Janice- I mount my plants with New Zealand spaghnum moss under them. I grow in the house most of the year and outside during summer so they would be too dry without the moss. It dries out quite fast less than a day. I just mounted a piece of my cernua I already had cause when I transplanted it the plant broke in two. I used a piece of cork bark and tied some moss on it then tied the plant on top. I use fishing line. It is now growing new roots and has three new leads. It is doing great. I am getting another mounted cernua for the project.

That wasn't my plant, it was Elise's plant. I commented on her post. I haven't received my project plant yet it is supposed to be here by the end of the week.
