Default Trichoglottis Tree Mount

I recently received a Trichoglottis Brachiata which was purchased from an eBay vendor. She was quite dehydrated upon delivery and has received frequent daily mistings in preparation for a palm tree mount.

Today was the day for her transition. She's now proudly displayed on her new home, mounted with coconut husk fiber and panty hose. She looks better already.

Yeah she really does... and she looks very healthy too. You should get blooms next season. This is one of my favourite orchids. Good luck!

Excellent news. Keep us informed. Nice mounting job!

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

Oh wow you're sooooo lucky! I'm still waiting for mine to start spiking. I wish it would spike for me NOW!!!!

But I guess I just have to be patient ... ok that's all the patience I have....

Your plants look great. The first one looks like its forming a spike near the center on the left. You might have a reason to celebrate.

Nah, i didn't see anything. But it was a good thing i did go outside because two of teh leaves on the fasciata started to burn...good thing i caught it in time. I put it a little more in the shade. Whew! You can actually see the burn on the fourth leaf from the top on the left hand side.
