First time mounting.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

That's exactly what I did. Just couldn't do it well.

Either the tray was too small and the water wouldn't wick all the way up the pot.

Or the tray was too big and the pot stayed too wet for too long.

At times, the pot would be wet in patches.

I had to also keep an eye on them more so than I had to with the ones mounted on wood because sometimes they'd dry out too fast.

Maybe I also got the wrong kind of moss or don't have the right environment for the moss to flourish, cause they sure as heck didn't look as lush and beautiful as the pics from Magnus A.

I just got fed up. Couldn't figure it out. Sometimes, I just don't have time (especially when I start working - I often work long hours and have erratic and unpredictable start times). With an irregular and erratic schedule like this, I don't have the patience or the energy to futz around with this kind of nonsense. If anybody here has weird irregular work periods like I do, I have a hard time recommending the seemingly unpredictable method of mounting on a pot, (but then again this is my opinion, and I haven't succeeded with this method yet, so who really knows unless someone with long term success with this method chimes in and says otherwise).

Of course, I'm always welcome to a paradigm shift on this topic.

Unless there's an "idiot proof" way to do it, I'll stick to wood mounts and tree fern mounts.

Although I've been meaning to try out coconut mounts and Epiweb. Maybe later.
