the upside down terracotta pot technique is awesome Brad !
Love that you too do pictures of your orchid in pot. I find it inspiration while waiting for something to bloom.
I used cyanoacrylate glue to mount some kekkis and some mini phals that were not doing well awhile back. They seem to be doing okay, new roots coming out and new leaves on a couple of them. I used maple tree bark that was sloughing off an old dead tree at my house.
I am so excited to try this, I will have so much table space in my sunroom if I get my orchids on the wall. maybe I can even have lunch out there♥
Did you end up trying it? Any updates?
Great job. All of them look very neat and clean. I didn't know that crazy glue wouldn't hurt the roots, it takes the skin right off my fingers. lol I started all of my mounting with that raffia ribbon that Miss Orchid girl used, then I went to fishing line which looked much better because you couldn't see it as much, but this, you don't see at all. Sweet.
Can't wait to try this. It is fantastic. I am so over the wires, string, etc. I am going to try this on a dendrobium aggregatum I have had this seedling for 2 years now, and no progress whatsoever, so maybe this will do the trick. Thank you!!! P.S. If you have any tips for the Den aggregatum, please let me know.
That's insane!! Super glue... Never even thought super glue would go with plants . Thanks !!
It’s nontoxic. Was developed by US military as a replacement for sutures in Vietnam! I use it for nail art, but I want an orchid mounted on a terra cotta pot!
I have now moved four of my bulbophyllums onto your diaper method. Three were in pots and not really happy, the fourth was a new purchase that was already mounted but I noticed some webs and eggs in the moss and bark and didn't want to see what might emerge! I used some wire bird-feeders that I'd had for years and never used - they're used for slabs of fab and are around 6 inches square and about 1 1/4 inches thick. A layer of moss went on the bottom, sides, backs and fronts and was infilled with a bark/charcoal/leca mix. The first two plants were mounted about 4 or 5 months ago and last week I noticed one of them, B. lepidum is producing a spike. Thanks for the idea, as you say, always loads to learn with orchids.
Amazing. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
I saw this method in an old book and was curious but not enough to try it. I'm glad it works. I need to give a try. Thanks, Brad!!
Hi Brad, I love this mounting method. I think you used a laelia as an example and mentioned growing on rock. I have a small Laelia perrini (I think), it's small. But I think I'm overwater (which I love to do). I really like the mount on the upside down pot and the fact that you have no moss at all. Thanks so much for the great idea. I guess I should look to my other cattleyas laelias who's roots are all growing out of the pot and have green tips as a sign they don't need lots of media. 😄
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this great idea
I have an orchid that is either glued to its wood slab or has roots of steel. I'm not sure, but I want to go with roots of steel. Please keep us updated on these ones.
Very cleaver Brad. Creative and easy, thank you for the information and video.
i used titebond 2 and another obscure glue for orchids, my key is to use food-grade, waterproof (or water resistant, if it’s the same or not). food-grade because i’m concerned glues in general may have toxicity towards orchids’ roots
you are blowing my mind Brad!
Ha ha ha!
Great video Brad. You've put a whole new spin on this hobby for me :)
Thank you!
This was very educational!! Thanks Brad!
Neat! I was watching and wondering if this technique might work for a staghorn fern, and lo and behold, you did it. Thanks!
Love the upside down pot awesome!
Great idea! Unbelievable! I’d wear thin disposable gloves so in case I get glue on my fingers, I’d just take off the gloves.
You can buy cork bark from various online sources, especially sites that supply Dart frog keepers, like Josh's frogs.
Karen J Gray: Also at stores like PetsMart in the reptile/amphibian section!
Brad, you r still the best...
Amazing video Brad, am definitely going to try this.
I was just pondering on how I was going to mount some minis, I can't stand fishing line. Thanks for the video!
I love the crazy glue idea; I have a very few mini orchids at work that I'd love to mount. I'm wondering if Douglas fir or redwood bark would work? Large chunks of the stuff litter the roads around here, so I can literally pick some up for free. Thanks, and thanks for the enormously helpful vid.
Fabulous Staghorn Fern!
if you cover the roots of orchids with glue (like you did in this video) how can the roots take nutrition and other elements from air?
Of course you can do it with an orchid with good root growth..... but the what about orchids with poor root growth?
I think it works because he’s not covering the entire root, only sections of it. I think this is a great idea and will try it soon!
This is so cool!! I was wondering if it would work for staghorn ferns, and then you panned the camera 😂 thanks for sharing, I will try this technique next time
Great idea especially since you mentioned using in your coral tanks that are sensitive and the use on wounds. I wonder if this is the same wound glue used today. . I think mounted is the best way to mimic nature if you can get enough humidity.
This is genius! I was just looking at my staghorns wondering if this technique would work, and then you did your big reveal of your staghorn haha!
Pretty late comment but I have a question: Can I use non toxic transparent silicone?? Like aquarium silicone? Great video by the way!
Very interesting, thanks for the video!
Love it
Thanks
wow!! totally new idea!!
I love your disclaimers...! Thanks for sharing. I know that no plants were harmed in the making of this video. Dig the glue idea. How do you decide what size the mount should be?
Ha ha, thanks! I decided on the size of them out just by doing some research on how big the orchids going to be. This one is going to stay quite small. Worst case I can glue this mount to a bigger mount later
Nice, gives me lots of ideas,,,,,
Welcome! Happy to Help 😊
lGreat idea. Thanks for sharing. Kool logs didn't work for me in my kitchen environment in Mississauga, Ontario. I did a review on TH-cam about kool logs in my kitchen.
love it ,thanks Brad
hey Brad, could u make a video about plant lights please?
greetings from Germany!
thank you so much! amazing technique!
Hi, Brad. How are you doing?
At 03:32 the way you mount it on a upside down terra pot is really brilliant! Do you have a elaborated tutorial on it? And if the orchid is bigger and needs a bigger pot, how do you hold the moss inside?
Thanks!
I read about this on an orchid book. The author used hot glue. Looks very good.
On my to do list! Crazy glue! Wow! 😱😱😱
Ha ha yes works like a charm, just make sure to get the thick stuff, the thin stuff is too runny
This is a great idea! I wish I knew this earlier
Hi, Brad what is the name of the large plant you showed at the end of the video? I want one of those!?! LoL It's beautiful and looks really nice mounted that way. God bless you!!😇
Awesome video , thank you
Thanks for watching!
Hi Brad, I don't have any mounts but, this idea looks great.
Follow up on the orchid demo mounting with glue. How is it doing? Thank you. Very very nice video.
Thank for the info
Instructions unclear.
How do I get finger unglued from the inside of my nostril?
Nifty. Thanks very much
Definitely gonna try it! Thanks Brad :)
Great information! My question is: Which orchids do best mounted rather than in a pot? I was going to try mounting a Sarcochilus, but someone told me that they don't do well mounted because they need a lot of moisture.
Brad! I glued my hand to my forehead! What do I do?
Just kidding. This is such a smart idea, I think I'm going to try it on my chiloschista. Thank you :)
Ha ha ha, when I started reading the first part I thought you're serious until you said forehead! Totally worth trying really fast and easy to.
How are you going to change the moss if needed?
I think it can survive without moss too
The slab of wood is the substrate from now on. Once it degrades (can take years) if the orchid is still alive, you are going to need a new plan.
Just found your TH-cam..great ideas on with the crazy glue.. my to do list now..
Angel'sDevil no no
hello Brad, thank you for sharing your ideas!
can I use driftwood instead?
thanks in advance :)
Hi mate, is ok the use glue to orchid root? What glue u use p
Very good idea!
I like the idea of using glue, it will make mounting much faster and easier.
It totally does!
thats a great technique Brad.. many thanks for sharing.. one doubt though.. do you remove the orchid from its mount once it has outgrown the mount? if so, how do u do it considering the glue is very strong.. thanks..
Can you provide a link on where to purchase the crazy glue, accelerant, and sheet cork? Love this video!!!
Can we buy the slab? I would like to try with Bromeliads.
Where can we buy that kind of glue? Thank you
My house is going to look so cool !
Thanks for this technique I'm going to try it for sure, which orchids are the ones who like to grow on rocks?
Yes, a list of rock-growing orchids would be helpful. Also, did you end up trying the technique?
Great video ! I like the mount on the upside down clay pot . I would have never thought to put moss inside the pot . Is it glued in there ? Do you think I can do it with a mini phal. ?
love the hoya you have
Hey brad I was wondering if you could do a temperate carnivorous plant update thanks
Hey Brad where do you get your cork bark from, can't seem to find any.
Me too..?
Wow I love it so unique , so naturally beautiful😍 Can molave hard wood be used to any kind of orchids? Thank you
Is Krazy glue the same as Super glue? We don't have that name brand here were I live and I would like to try this .
I would love to see a video of the reef tank :)
e600 glue can work?
Hi Brad, can you please tell me what the excelerator is please , is it isopropyl? I bought the glue in a local Perth West Australia garden store and can’t wait to use it. Here it’s called Gorilla glue, same ingredients. Thanks for the inspiring , helpful videos. Cheers.
I was also wondering where you can get it in canada?
Thank you. Great video. What is the white bottle? Couldnt get the name.
Where do you get your cork slabs?
Brad, I know this is an older post so don’t know if you will even see and respond. I saw where some folks were asking where to find. Maybe this will help - almost every country has model/hobby shops and saltwater reef or aquarium shops where this product is sold. And each country has the big “A” and the big “W”. I know I saw this for the UK for all of these and the USA for the big W and the A. Didn’t know if we can mention the large retailers.
There are a couple of other brands but it didn’t sound like they worked as well as the one Brad used - (Bob Smith Industries - IC-Gel Insta Cure Cyanoacrylate Gel). You can go to manufacturer and check where to find in your area in the USA by putting in zip code. Might be able to call or email mfg. for other countries too.
Due to the mention on it freezing/drying up quick - I would make sure it is brand new and never opened and someone doesn’t try to pass off their old stuff on you. Brad what was your experience in it’s life after opening the tube and was there any kind of expiration date on the tube or box? It isn’t very expensive (+/- $7 for a big 20 grams) if it dries up but you might want to plan to do most of your mounts at one time. In the generic product name link below - it gives a couple tips on preserving it after opening.
Also, for your white areas where you removed moss - see the reef shop description below where they mentioned using sand to sort of give the glue texture and blend in with rock etc. I thought maybe you can use a thin layer and attach pieces of bark to cover your white areas. Of course, a wood chisel might take it off too if it is bugging you and hasn’t disappeared yet.
This stuff has a pretty interesting history and the link below give info on the cyanoacrylate gel and more importantly how to use, precautions and the fact that it doesn’t last long after opened (maybe a month) - a year if never opened, to use it in thin layers, how to help preserve it after opening, and how to remove if on fingers, etc.

Description from a reef shop- www.bulkreefsupply.com/ic-gel-insta-cure-cyanoacrylate-gel.html
comes 20-gram tubes and is a widely used super glue within the hobby. With its quick dry time, and extra thick consistency you can use the IC-Gel on vertical surfaces and it will not run. It is great for heavier frags that you need to stand vertical or heavier rock work. IC-Gel comes in a tube like toothpaste which makes it very easy to dispense the amount needed, and when it comes down to the last few drops you can still get it out, unlike harder plastic bottles. Super glue (cyanoacrylate) is widely used for mounting coral frags to plugs, rocks, and what ever you may need to attach them to. Super glue can also be used to bond rock work when aquascaping for a seamless look. We find that if larger gaps are needed to be bridged when aquascaping either building up layers of glue, or placing a smaller rock that fits in the gap and then gluing over the top works really well. Usually when using super glue with aquascaping we will take a small amount of large grain sand to help give the glue some texture and blend it into the rock as well.
how do you change the moss when it begins to break down? Do you just add new moss over it and glue down? Where do you buy your cork from?
Wildlife Watcher leaving moss to decompose on roots would be a bad idea. He removed moss from his first example. I'm sure her just carefully picks it off and switches it out or remounts
You should do a video on your tank
Good Video. Decent idea, much easier than wire. .Kuddos Laurene
dang -- so cool -- THANKS!
How and when do you water them?
Other than a greenhouse, that I don't have, where can you hang them? I live in the cental appenine in Italy.
Thank you
i have a keke useing the terracotta pot so far its good
That's a great way to mount airplants!!!
Is it safe for the root system of the orchid?,there is always the possibility of suffocating the root system.
Where do you purchase the cork bark. I live in the southern Okanagan.
Hi Brad! I'm planing to mount one of my orchids since I'm new on how to take care of them, do you recommend a certain type of wood? Where I live there is lots of Oak and Almond trees. Would you say any of the oak wood of the trees around here is good for the orchids? I really don't want to mess up on mounting them in something that might harm them. Thank you!
Hi Brad I am from India In our country Ethyl Cyanoacrelate Gel form is not available.Can We use silicone Adhesive to mount the plants,Or Please suggest any Adhesive.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. I've never seen this done before but I intend to try it with my orchids. Do you have a good source for cork bark? I wonder if I can use oak bark. We recently had to remove a large old oak tree and I would like to use some of that bark if it would not hurt the orchids.
+Randy Watts Hi Randy, I might tell you that, oak tree bark may deteriorate quickly and fall apart. Once the bark is off the tree it rots pretty fast. But it will look nice for a while. Cork bark is just better, if you get good bark! Zoo Med bark is really good. Check out Amazon or Pet Mountain for Zoo Med bark. Hope this helps
Hi
What's the name of plant, that is being used to demonstrate in this video?
Hello . What the name of the orchid with a diaper?
i think im gonna try it with some of my orchids
hello Brad, what is the second one's name( it looks like a vegetable aricots) and has it flowered yet?, Thank You.
If the " Super Glue sticks on finger ' Spray WD- 40 or the fingers.
What happens when the plant outgrows that particular peice of bark and the moss needs changed?
You unmount it and put it on a bigger one. Crazy glue might need to be chipped off from the bark side though if it doesn't come off by itself as the orchid grows.
we don't have that glue in the uk, but I think that aquarium sealer may work??
no just buy any old super glue mate aquarium sealer is silicone totally different and takes ages to go off
