Suzie, I thought that was a ghost. Mine are on the same stick but not as big. I have a branch of cypress I plan to mount it on. I could also get you one.
While down at the St Germain grand opening, you might want to check out, it's either RF or Rueben, that is across the street (according to Tom and Sandy at Broward Orchid Supply) and they sell the teak knot mounts.

FWIW, I have shipped a lot of EcoWeb to growers in FL. Think of it as a softer version of tree fern, only more durable.

Kasper, I will pm the vendor to you. I don't want to mention it in the thread since I am aggravated with them.
Thanks for the suggestion Ray. I have never tried that product. Maybe I should try it now. I need durability! I will contact you next week.

I actually have a problem with a cork mount disintigrating. I dunk the entire thing daily and the mount is crumbling to pieces. The roots of the chid (miltonia) are pushed right through the tiniest cracks in the bark and seem to be pushing it apart.
I love the look of wood or cork mounts but I'm not sure either last that long in wet conditions.

Hi Susan,
I forgot that I have a piece of cholla wood I bought 3 years ago. Nothing has happened to it. I stuffed a little moss in some of the holes to retain some moisture to get my den started but it looks like new, growth and roots everywhere. I need to get some more somewhere.

You could look into ecoweb / epiweb it does not decompose at all and will probably work well in your humid environment.

Hi Beca. Here is what it looked like when I mounted it. It's raining now so I'll try to add another pic tomorrow when I can and you can compare what it looks like now. This pic was taken in July '07 |
