How To Mount A Dischidia On A Piece of Driftwood | Wood Mounted Planter

- A few months ago I got a few cuttings of a Dischidia, I don't know the exact species but I think it's either a Dischidia imbricata or Dischidia platyphylla (if you can identify it, please let me know in the comments). It's going to flower soon so hopefully, I will be able to identify it properly. I decided to mount it on a piece of driftwood because for epiphytic plants such as this one, the best situation for growth is to be given the conditions they would have in nature, in this case this would be something to climb on. In this video, I show the process of how I did it, step by step.

This was the first video of yours that I have seen. It was really great! I love your thorough explanations and your calm and soothing voice and manner. Plus your did it all in what I assume is a second language for you. Well done! I really hope you have more videos to check out. A friend of mine is traveling now in the Philippines and his IG just showed a dischidia growing in the wild, and I believe it was this exact species. I really want to get one-I need a friend who can give me a cutting!
And I love how you describe everything thoroughly
Thanks :D
I am so excited to start doing this
The plant looks so nice and tiny 😍
I really enjoyed watching this project come together.
Awww thank you so much! ^_^
On my snag, sphagnum dries completely in a day. Given the fact that the humidity in the house is 57%. I'll redo it, put earth or coconut chips under the sphagnum.
Or put more sphagnum. It also depends on the period of the year, for me in winter it stayed wet for about a week, while in summer it was getting bone dry in 2 days. I'd maybe advise against soil, it's difficult to put on a mount, dischidias don't grow in soil, and i think it won't provide enough air to not rot the wood underneath. Better coco chips or more sphag. As for mine, I was away for some time and the person watering my plants was lazy to properly water it and when I was back there were only a few shoots still holding on. Which I repropagated in a prop box and now they are thriving again. Should do another mount!
Wow that is so cool! Now I gotta got hunt for some driftwood 😂 do you keep your lights on for half the day for the plants in your bathroom? Or do you get natural light in there?
During winter light is very scarce so I keep them on for 12 hours a day, they have an automatic timer so I don't even have to think about it :)
How do you provide nutrients to this type of mounted plants? Good instructions
With a fertilizer, same as you do with potted plants 🙂
this is so useless when you run the camera fast so we can't see the details of what you are doing
Sorry you feel that way Amal. I was simply wrapping the fishing wire around the plant so it would stay up against the moss. Didn't think there was the need to show in details and I didn't want to bore the people watching with hours of footage that is more or less self explanatory in my opinion. Thanks for visiting!
@@MiniHomeJungle no problem , I am sorry , and thank you for your understanding
