Default My 1st Mounted plant

I found this wood at the Salinas Riverbed, it's actually hollow inside the base, and had a nice lead for a plant to grow up on it. It's and Onc. flexuosum. It's been mounted for about 3-4 months but not really growing to vigourously. I try to spray it 2 x a day and thoroughly water once a week. Any other suggestions to help him get going, there are 2 new growths on it. But the growth is at a snail pace.

Nice looking mount, I love the wood. I have no suggestions other than to say to increase the spraying/fertilizer while in active growth. Could that species be slow growing anyway?

In Order to get the roots going you could try a product called KLN it is great for stimulating root growth

That's all I'd say also. KLN has always worked for me.

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.)
