Last summer I mounted a couple of rootless Phals in an attempt to save them. Both started new roots very quickly. Unfortunately both are still limping along tho - might just be too dry here for Phals to thrive on mounts, idk ...

Wish I could save my rootless C. intermedia with mounting. Would probably hate it here though.
