Anna, I don't place a date on them when they are mounted, but none of them have been mounted for more than a year. Some were mounted only this past fall. I use thin, green, florist wire to attach my plants, and after 9-12 months, that wire usually will have rusted through and I just pull what's left away. I would certainly think your Phal. is well-rooted, but without pictures, I am only guessing. I have some really well-rooted Phal. that are mounted, but I don't grow many Phal. and typically will only mount the compact ones. Here are some Phal. Hitomi Watanabe 'No. 15' (I just call her "Number 15"). This is a compact grower.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
