Thumbs up Mounting Questions

Aaron M I tried my first mountings about 2 months ago and they came out very well. I used cork bark and very old driftwood. I also used florists wire and new zealand moss. I soaked the bark and the moss overnight with kln in the water. The next day I took small handful of moss squeezed out the water and placed it on the bark. Placed the plant then more moss then the wire. Once mounted I hung it in the ordcidarium. They are doing so well and have so many roots.
I fertilize lightly at least everyother watering. In between I mist them daily 3 or 4 times. I try to dip the whole mounting at least twice a month.
Hope this helps
