Mj, I find most of Andy's mounts break down after 5 years or so. I don't know what kind of wood/tree he is using, but it is usually not a big deal when it falls apart. Many times one can simply secure a larger plant by wrapping a chain around it and hanging it up, or using a basket hanger with some wire or chain.
I have moved a few smaller Catts to Mopani wood, an African hardwood used in Aquariums and Terrariums. We shall see how long that holds up.
Thought I share a final picture of the Caulocattleya Judy Congdon.
a couple of blooms on a small Den kingianum, incredible how those two silly blooms can put out such a beautiful scent!
And I just had to show again the Epi longipetalum x Laelia lundii, right now blooming from two growths.
