Thanks Sue, The cane actually turned? or continued to grow in the new
direction. I wanted to ask that the other night, but the lecture was long
enough without me asking silly questions. Really though if your going to
hang in a tree, or ledge somewhere- the light might be below and not up.

One more reason to like mounted plants- I knocked 3 hanging clay pots over
smashing the pots. I didn't freak out, just figured I'd might as well
inspect the roots and got them into new pots- the mounts just bounced and
got rerun.

Thanks Gene. A lot of photos show of Dends, they look like they are
growing
down instead of up. What would happen if you hung a cane type dend-
(canes
are 24" long") upside down, the weight is going to go this way anyway? I
think it will adjust, trying to find its light.

Diane -
I had one that had to be tied up or it fell over. It seemed to
want to be down. So I mounted it hanging. Ever seen a cane do a
U turn? This one did in the middle of the cane. So that the top
of the cane was up. Seems the only reason it fell over was the
tiny pot not its natural inclination to grow down.
