Mounting on xaxim (tree fern)

[Roberta]

I do the same as Mr.Fakename... when a mount starts to disintegrate, I just tie it to a new one. The roots eventually attach to the new one. Only things that actually get unmounted are those which never really attached to a mount (often the case if the seller has placed sphagnum between the plant and the mount)... if you are unsure how well a plant has attached to the mount, you can cut the ties (fishline or whatever)... if it falls off it wasn't attached, just remount, gently removing excess sphagnum so that roots have a chance to get intimate with the mount.
