Seems like if you pick a time when there is new root growth, "ripping off" the old roots doesn't matter. I've remounted Encyclia when you'd think it would be a disaster and the plants did really well. I think timing is the answer.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
