What is the mount? I have a tree fern mount and I find if I set it in a bowl with water, the tree fern wicks the water up to the roots and keeps them green. That is the Haraella rectrocalla. I also have a mounted bulbo which will be getting a vase of its own this winter...a large vase. Right now, with the constant rain, it has been pretty happy.

I received a bulbo mounted to a piece of cedar. On the recommendation from another OrchidBoard member, I soaked the entire mount in water for about 10 minutes. Then, I pushed the plant gently but firmly with one hand while holding the mount with the other. The plant slid cleanly off the mount with very minimal root loss.

It is mounted on a normal piece of wood which is commonly used for wooden mop

1. Soak plant in water for fifteen minutes or until roots are soft.

2. Gently pull plant away from mount.

That's all!

Thanks cambria
Oh, I removed it already
But its difficult to plamt them in a pot cause the plant live in a square pattern
Proporgate the corner which is square so that it will be easy to pot
Years to bloom ahhh

The rhyzomey can be bent slightly to fit the pot. Btw how can you tell if a bulbo is blooming size? I assume it's more than just having at least 3 pseudonulbs

Every seller has a different criteria. Blooming size generally means it it will bloom within the year. The first year blooms of an orchid are not always very good.
