mounting a Masdevallia
 
4 Attachment(s)
This is the first time i have mounted a masdevallia. I took the floribunda var. tuerkemii and attached it to a cork mount. I also put some live moss around the roots in hopes that this would keep it moist enough. Only time will tell. I hope i did a good job of it. Any instructions on helping it adjust to the new mount?

I think it looks fantastic! You don't really need a lot of the Java moss to seed a mount. But that looks great. Nice job.

I absolulely LOVE it!!! Beautiful!!!!

I gotta ask where I can get some Java Moss though??

Java moss just seems to appear for most of us. If you can't get it established, let me know and I will send you a start.

i have some in my aqariums; but have never been able to grow it out of water.
what is the trick?

cb977 11-07-2008 08:24 PM

I've read that it likes lower light which wouldn't work for what I'll be putting together :(

Thanks for the offer, though ;)

Just remember to keep it well ventilated. I killed an M. floribunda wrapping it up in moss. Root rot. hehe.

I have a couple M floribunda and I was worrying about root rot too. They are in plastic pots now with some of that moss, but I worry that they are staying too wet. Living in south Florida is going to be difficult for them. Do you think mounting them could help?
