I love tree fern for my mounts. They really can take a lot of water. I never had mold but that's because I use them for plants growing outdoors with lots of airflow. Very good for moisture loving orchids. The only fat root orchid I have mounted on tree fern is a Neofinetia and one root is going right in !!!!
Thank you so much for watching! I recently just got my first epiphyllum cactus and was considering a treefern mount for it. Do you grow any of your epiphytic cacti mounted? I am glad to hear the fat rooted plants will do ok as well. I tend not to worry about orchid roots with that. I’ve found they will burrow and bore their way wherever they want to go if that’s where they want to be! So far I’ve done mostly fine or medium rooted plants but I just remounted my VERY sad phal parishii on a little piece and hoping it takes to it and grows happier! Thank you as always for watching and for your support! Happy growing my friend! 😊
@@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore I grow my Epiphyllum in pots in a mixture of 70 per cent regular soil and some perlite and bark. I don't even keep them too moist as I fear rot stem. Same as all other jungle cacti I have. I grow them in high light but shaded, with a touch of direct sun late afternoon. It will be interesting to know how yours will grow mounted though. I have seen Epiphyllum all red, growing in full sun and still growing large and blooming which I would never do. But I find it amazing the way some plants can adapt to conditions far from ideal. Happy growing 👌❤️
@@FernandaNascimentoOrchids thank you so much for the tips! I am new to cacti and succulents but they are really awesome and I hope to have success. I will let you know how they do! :)
A fern block eh? That sounds really cool! What do you have on there so far? I am eager to play more with this stuff…. So far I have managed to get a few plants transferred over. Trying a nice little variety… couple oncidium alliance, a Bulbo, the Coelogynes, a few Dendrobiums and a species Phal. I am extremely eager to see how it goes and report! Thank you so much and watching and for your kind words! I hope you continue to enjoy! Stay safe and happy growing! 😊
That looks awesome… I get huge box of Cork Bark wholesale so o don’t really need those (1 big piece went to Todd)… but it looks neat. I got Epi porpax came with this mount so I keep it.
So far it’s kinda neat. Really has a lot of potential! This video came out a little bit late and I’ve already got not only dispatch for two more prepped and ready for orchids. I think it’s really going to do well for the plants that want to be not only moist all the time but have a lot of air around the roots and basis. Thank you so much as always for watching! I hope you’re having a great weekend! 😊
Looks like you got the pieces towards the bottom of the tree fern trunk that are very dense. The pieces towards the top of the trunk the grain gets more open and hold a lot less water, like cattleya less water, you can see daylight thru them. Maybe you could call the vendor and see if somehow you can pick and choose your packages?? If you should ever want them to hold more water turn the grain horizontal... just my humble 2cents worth.... LOL
Thank you so much for watching and for the tips! I actually saw this comment and thought I replied already.... I have implemented your advice on several plants and its going great so far. I just posted a few pics to my instagram page of the progress if you want to see! Happy growing!!
Alternate title, "Don't watch this video with a full bladder". The trickling sound really makes you have to go twice as badly. 😂 The main issue with the pressed panels (versus the natural panels) is that only fine rooted orchids are suitable for growing on them. The natural panels (as Todd uses) have a much more open structure, so even thick rooted orchids (e.g. Cattleya) are able to push their roots through them. Since most of what you grow/intend to grow on them falls into the fine rooted, probably not an issue. But it is probably worth noting.
I will definitely keep that noted. I am eager to see how different plants fair on the stuff now that it’s sterilized. So far I’ve stuck with mostly finer rooted orchids but the Dendrobium parishii just went on about a week or so ago and seems to be doing ok with its medium roots so far…. I am eager to see what decides to really take to the stuff. Between that and the husk I’m hoping for some positive results! Where would one go about getting a natural panel? Thanks as always for watching! 😊
The physan was a bust for the most part…. Bleach was definitely the way to go in the end. It’s interesting and has a lot of potential. So far things are going well. I hope it continues! Thank you as always for watching!! Happy growing my friend!
@@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore I got these for my Hoya Serpens, to use in a terrarium because they love humidity, but they have started molding. These are turning out to be too high maintenance, so I'm probably going to give up this experiment.
@@e.g.1218 I have had a much tougher time in my orchidarium with this but after the bleach treatment, it seems to have worked for the 2 pieces I have been testing in that environment. The mounts in the tent are doing better, in my opinion. I think air movement Is the real key thing it seems as well as temperature. The mounts I have that get sunlight and lots of air movement tend to dry in the tent in about 24 hours. The little mounts in the tank take 3-4 days to dry out completely. Cork bark is still my go to for the tank conditions at this time. I hope your luck turns around, you could always try adding springtails and live epiphytic mosses to help combat the mold until everything cycles, or so I’ve heard. Thanks for watching and happy growing!

Can you write the name of the material you use to clean it? Thank you

@@CloudforestVibesOrchidsMore I'm not sure where to get them. Check with Todd, I think he gets them locally so he may be able to hook you up.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 awesome, thanks Michael!
I never thought to soak in Physan but yea it NEVER dried in my environment. Mold in the middle. 😳
