First time mounting.

[WhiteRabbit]

I have seen plants mounted on pots - but haven't done it myself - thanks for the heads up on the watering issues king

As for watering 'traditional' mounts, I give mine a good shower under the faucet - the whole piece of wood as well as the moss/root area. I let it 'drip off' in the sink or tub before returning to its regular place

Thanks WhiteRabbit, I'll give that a try.

I also use a hand pressure sprayer for fert - tho you can pour that from a watering can as well

That's a good idea. Do you fertilise about once a week?

Well - I'm still fairly new to the mounted plants - and haven't been sure how often to fertilize. I don't think sphag builds up the fert like other media, and basically the plants are 'flushed' nearly every day - so I have been fertilizing with quite dilute fertilzer 3xs a week or so. I have been meaning to ask about how often to fertilize the mounted plants but keep forgetting lol. Maybe someone can help us out
