Mounting
We bought a Den Anosmum 2 years ago and it came mounted on a cork bark slab about 8 x 6 inches. The canes are about 30 inches long and pendulous so it needs to be hung. It grew a keiki and I got the stuff and mounted it like the parent plant. I took the cork bark slab and put a ball of moss on it then put the roots on top and another ball of moss on top of them. I had bought 3 feet of coated electrical wire and wrapped that around the mounting to hold it all in place (like the parent plant had been anchored). It has worked like a charm and the keiki bloomed this spring as well as the parent plant. Just remember that any mounted plant will probably need to be watered more frequently than a potted plant. As to moving it, both of ours have been moved twice and there hasn't been a problem. Good luck!
