Remount a Phal. deliciosa?
Default Remount a Phal. deliciosa?

I got this little plant last summer, mounted, and in bloom. It's done pretty well - it's grown out new roots, and is currently working on new root tips, a new leaf, AND a new spike - but it's definitely not adhering its roots to this slab of wood, and at the rate the roots grow, it's going to have all its roots waving off into space by the end of the year.

If it was adhering to the wood, I'd just mount this to another piece of wood/cork to give it more room to roam, but since the roots don't attach, I'm thinking I should remove it entirely and put it on some cork, along with replacing the old sphagnum - and most likely providing some to the most exposed roots, which look like they suffer a bit where they are really exposed to the air :\ .

Does that seem like a reasonable plan?

I want to do it soon, since it has nice new growing tips on the roots, but I also don't want to disturb it too much while it's got so much going on!! I also don't want the flower spike to die off due to stress, but I'd rather move it to a better mount than see blooms this year.

There's also some very, very tiny moss (it's really moss, not algae, it just has SUPER tiny leaves) growing on the surface of the sphagnum - what are the pros and cons to transferring some of that to a new mount?
