That's a neat idea and would help with the problem of how to display the
mounted plant when in bloom. If the mount lies flat, all one would need is
some sort of decorative tray. KEWL!

I appreciate the responses.

Who told you a plant can't grow "straight up" on a mount? G

We have several of our Schombos, and some other plants, growing upright
[from our perspective, even tho it's caddy-whompus from the plant's point
of
view] on horizontal mounts. It's just a matter of attaching the hanger
differently, through the center of the mount instead of one end.

I've been looking at pumice, but not tried it yet.

hi guys
what about pumice????
will this be ok as an inert-long lasting medium?????\
i'm thinking about clay pellets but pumice is plenty around where i live


personally i will rather put some charcoal and pumice in a basket(wire
or
wood)
for the plants that do better mounted ie(schobos and rhyncholaelia
digbyana), i
just think the plant looks nicer when it grows straight up
thanks
