That is one of the main reasons I decided to mount it I was having trouble keeping the humidity up and keeping the plant damp, without rotting the roots and leaves.

I sort of gave up mounting onto wood because the plant had so many roots in different directions I would squash them, and I never really found a suitable piece to use.

My theory with this design is that I can remove it from the mount at a later date without too much disturbance to the roots and be able to replace the moss.

i was going to use an aquatic plant pot but couldnt find the right size. The holes in this one should be sufficient to give the medium air so it will dry out faster. I cant dunk it daily if need be.

I think I'll call it the "net cone mount"
