How do I mount my Phalaenopsis tetraspis!
I have done a google search and find several ways of mounting Phalaenopsis tetraspis.
Some place the leaves and head of the plant at the bottom of the mount and roots running UP the mount.
Others mount the plant at the top of the board with the roots running down.
Brooke, how should I mount them! as most of theses are my mates plants and I getting a few freebees for growing them for him
They all will have to be mounted as he does not want them in a pot.
They are all going on to tree fern mounts.

Any Phals that I mount, I make the crown point down.

This will be an interesting thread as your other mount thread is as I will also be doing some mounting of Phals and other types as well in the spring.
Thanks for posting

Yep, that's how they grow in nature.

Thanks, for the answer, point all the leaves down!
Simple once you see a photo and reinforced by fellow Geeks.
Many thanks now the work starts. Over 40 in all to mount with the 2 forms
