Swampstick Mount Pictures
Hi Everyone! I just wanted to post some pictures I took last night of a phal I have mounted on my new Swampstick! This is my first mount, so I think it will be an experiment! Mounting the Phal was much easier then I thought it would be! Hope you enjoy the photo's! Oh, and the phal is a cross of Ching Ruey's Beauty x Taisuco Windian 'ST-2016', I think that is it and the outcome of what the blooms will look like are unkown, and I think I have a while before I will find out

I've heard Phals take very well to mounts such as this. Looks like a great mounting job. Now on to others, eh?

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.)

I don't have alot of space for hanging mounts and the Swampstick is also made with a base on it. I have ordered one of those as well since they just became available. Once the plant is established I shouldn't have to water it everyday since there is a reservoir in the middle that holds water and seeps through the clay, but I will see how that works since it is not so humid here. The mount is hanging where it will get sun in the morning but during the day or evening. I will watch it daily and watch for signs for trouble. If I have to I have a spot I might be able to move it to indoors!

Oh yes, and this is also one of many seedlings that I have revived using sphagnum moss as a growing medium. I have to say I am proud of the results! I feel like I am kind of getting the hang of things slowly!

Gin-
If you type in Swampstick (all one word) on googles search bar it should come up. If I try and type the web address, the link looks funny when I post it, but you can click on it and it should take you to the webpage:
SwampStick ™ or GROW IN HYDRO should also have a link the to website as well on the bottom of their home page. Let me know if you still have problems finding it. I thought the Swampstick was a really neat idea for those who want to mount orchids but not need to water everyday, of course I will need to water everyday until the roots become more attached to the mount, and the customer service is great as well! Sometime they take a day or so to answer emails but it is usually because the owner is out of town! I will post an update on how my plant does on this mount further down the road!
