davetheorchidaddict is on a distinguished road
I started mounting Vandas on cypress and they seem to like it, they are gorwing well. I have a word of warning - when you are cutting a dead pseudobulb, DO NOT get in a hurry and forget safety. Sat I was in a hurry and cut one that I saw, had my left hand behind to make sure that I had the correct one, did not pull it out of the way when the shears cut through I felt the sting. Have done before but not this bad, as I walked to the laini I left a blood trail. A trip to the ER and 5 stiches later I got back home. The shears weresharp so it was a clean cut an inch long and deep, won't be mounting for a few days.
