How to prepare orchids for planting in orchidarium

[Vanda_lover]

Hi there,

I wanna try to create my own orchidarium. I know ( well I hope ) things about light , air contitions etc etc but dont know how to prepare orchids to mount in orchidarium. I mean when You buy , u get them mounted already or in pot . Of course I dont wanna just put pots inside , wanna nicely plant them in a special substrate. So I guess I get rid of all the old one , clean roots?? ( if yes how, with what ) . How about mounted already orchids? I will have my own "wall" and I dont wanna just hang them , I wanna attach them direct to the wall . Is there any special way to do this not to harm them and make them grow? Ah and if You have any sugestions for species ( mini orchids ) that are best for orchidariums - please share. I attach some photos to explain You what exactly I mean . You see tank ready to plant , and after planting . btw I am doing Orchidarium not Palladium so will be no water in my tamk . Thank You so much for Your help
