Thanks Lee Anne. I have about 40 or so orchids now ... down from @ 60 because of some I lost to squirrels when I had them hanging out in a tree a year or so ago, and some I've lost to root rot. I learned about mounted orchids about a year ago and am now hooked on growing them in that manner. When they are mounted on wood sticks or bark it allows for greater air circulation around the roots ... no more root rot from compacted bark mix or sphagnum moss! The past couple of weeks I've been un-potting some old ones and mounting them on wood and I still have about 8 to go. This Laelia has been blooming off and on for about two months now and I'm waiting for it to stop blooming so I can get it out of the hard sphagnum and tie it bare root onto a piece of wood!
