I saw Ken's orchids mounted on cork on another thread............He suggested I post this on the orchid forum as there might be others that would have some input on my question. Here goes.......

How long have those been on the cork since you don't seem to have any "wrapping" around the root portion? I'd like to put the others I have on a cork slab. I think I'll use some discarded big hay bale net wrap to put around the spaghnum and the root portion. I saw that those in the photos are not phals, so I think I will try it with my non-phals.

I have some phals that have been on the cork for a couple of years............can I safely take off the old nylon stockings I have wrapped on them? I would think that the roots would have had sufficient time to take a good hold on the cork. I think they'd be a little more aesthetically pleasing without all that rigamarole wrapped around the bottom portion of the cork. These aren't really great pix, but I think you get the idea of how mine look.
