Mornin'!

Finally after a couple years of nursing my puny aerangis cryptodon to a point where I think it's fairly healthy I mounted it!

I'd really love your opinions as to whether this looks like it will be a successful mount or not.

I used a piece of oak that I soaked and scrubbed, allowed to dry, then moistened for the actual mount. Using moss as a base, I then placed the orchid in the (what I considered) best position on the mount, added more moss and proceeded to anchor the orchid with fishing line.

Each layer (that is the base layer of moss, the orchid, then the final layer of moss are each separately secured with fishing line. I've been misting daily and so far I haven't seen any ill effects from the move from pot to mount.

Thanks so much for be here for those of us will little or no experience!

Cheers and Blessings
