I remounded my Neos this summer like that, and I was surprised how easy it is to do. I don't know if it's the very correct way to do it, but here it is: I take a bottle (I used a 1/2 liter water bottle) and then wrap/squeeze some damp sphag around the top of it (as tall as you want the mount to be.) For the sphag I soaked it and then squeezed the water out. Then I places a Neo over that first layer of sphag, spreading the roots around it. Then I used long stranded sphag to wrap around the roots, covering them up. Afterwards I let everything dry to pull it off the bottle easily. I also tried taking it off the bottle right away, but it's more difficult since the damp sphag loses it's shape. Then I tucked the bottom of the hollow mound into a pot.
