Thanks so much Lynn. That's good news about being a regular. You told me that you've been growing orchids for 4 years. I've only been growing for 5. Can't wait to see your orchids. So you had a question about mounting on wood? One thing is that mounting means more maintenance. You really need to water daily. This one is just wired onto the wood. Some plants require a bit of sphagnum to keep the roots damper longer.
