How I Mounted Phalaenopsis pulchra Orchid | Securing an Orchid to a Mount #ninjaorchids

#phalaenopsis #orchids #mount
AESTHETICS! Mounted orchids look really nice on a piece of wood until we have to secure it to the mount while we wait for the orchid to attach herself to the wood. That is when things can look messy, and I have many mounts that look a little weird because I have to use the previous mount as a structure to secure the orchid to the mount. In the case of this phalaenopsis pulchra, I am demonstrating how a large phalaenopsis orchid is mounted, the ideal position of the phalaenopsis orchid on the mount and without using fishing line excessively spoiling the look of the presentation. #beginners #orchidcare #orchideen #orquideas #howtomountphalaenopsisorchid
