Default Let's Start a Good Idea, Tips Thread.

I use a kind of wire that is covered in dark green plastic. I adore it.
Maybe it's something like that Prem uses?
I can recommend the plastic-covered kind. I use it to anything orchidrelated
when needing support or thread. It is also possible to make baskets of it,
if you have some patience and creativity.

Prem: No problems with the galvanized hurting the plants?

I've been using "Glide" dental tape to affix very small orchids to
plaques. It's wide enough that it doesn't cut into plants, unlike
monofilament, and you can tie pretty good knots into it. Although, I
confess, I sometimes have to use hemostats or tweezers to do so. Sometimes
it's more like tying flies than mounting orchids!
