New re-mounting puzzle here, with a B. nodosa I've had for 3 years, and it has grown but never bloomed since I bought it. It's on a small, narrow piece of cork and has roots all through the cork by now. Problem is, it also has a whole big handful of great looking roots just waving around in the air. It is growing in that direction, away from the mount, right now. I'm not worried about it, but I do think that I just can't keep it watered enough once the weather gets hot, so maybe that's why it hasn't bloomed.

Should I just attach it to a new piece of cork mount and hope for the best, or perch it in a slat basket so I can get some medium around those floating roots? What would you all do here?
