Hi! Thank you for mounting your plants!
All of my orchids are mounted. I believe they have much less health problems this way, almost no chance of rotting, and are generally more aesthetically pleasing and natural this way. It may be disappointing, but if you want to keep the flowers then you should probably wait until the plants have finished blooming. When you de-pot and then mount it, it will invariably damage many roots which will cause the plant to stress. Every time roots are damaged, mounted or not, the open wounds are exposed to mold spores and thus the plant will need to spend a lot of energy fighting off fungus attacks for a while. Some roots will rot, but oh well. In fact, i think the best mounting job requires a lot of roots to be damaged, because the goal is to get the rhizome as close to the mount as possible. Sometimes I simply cut off roots when they are directly in the way, but I try to bend them as much as possible. Mounting or repotting while in flower runs a risk of either it dropping all the buds/flowers, or overextending the plant and killing it. Regardless, Good luck!
