| I agree with Jerry that you can mount orchids just about any time, even when blooming. I try to mount them gently, too, not force the old roots to conform to the mount by bending them in unnatural positions. The new roots will grow onto the mount soon enough. Rather than stressing the plants, I can almost hear them breathe a sigh of relief once they're on the mount. My experience is they they grow new roots more quickly if the roots aren't buried in sphag, but everyone's conditions are different. Good luck with getting your plants mounted! |
