Thanks for the compliment.
No pictures of the old cork. Didn't see any white on them but they were both really really thin cork bark pieces that the plants came on. I tend to use the thick pieces when I mount stuff myself. In any event the old thin pieces felt almost spongie when I sheezed them between my fingers and I could easily break pieces off with my index finger and thumb. The velum on the roots that were still there seemed like it couldn't wait to 'jump' off or escape that yuckie stuff. Real easy to get both plants completely off. Who knows.
Hopefully, all the new root growth, that wasn't touching the old mounts yet, will help the plants recover. I put some fluffy coconut husk fiber around them to kinda baby them along until they attach. Maybe they will feel so pretty on their new mount they will be encouraged and/or feel loved or something.
