Hi guys. Might I suggest that you remove the bark from the stick, throw the
stick away, flatten the bark as best you can and mount your plants onto the
bark.

Might I suggest you think about this a minute? Other than cork, most
bark is too fragile to be used this way. I mount orchids on cedar
shakes. They have no bark, yet orchids grow well on them. It's
probably possible to get orchids to grow well on slabs of styrofoam.
I've had them do OK on pieces of nylon paint stripper pad.
