Hi, thank you!
Yes, I used a ladder to get up there. I like to use plastic ribbons for the attachment. It's really cheap and flexible.
Now that I've done this hundreds of times it's pretty straightforward. Best thing is to place the newest growth against the trunk making good contact, because that's where the new roots will emerge. Small plants are really easy, but big heavy ones are a pain, specially phals.
Afer that I usually wait 6 to 8 months for the orchid to create a good root system, and once it's attached on its own I simply cut the ribbon. People sometimes like to use organic materials for the attachment, because you can simply leave it there to decompose, but I'm not a big fan.
