When choosing how specifically to mount your orchid, there are a few factors to consider: appearance, functionality, and durability. Each of these categories is essential to the overall success of your orchid mount (though appearance probably least so), and you'll want to make sure you consider them each time you go to mount a different orchid, as varietals will all necessitate slightly different mounts.When it comes to mounting your orchid, there are a few supplies you'll likely run into time and time again. Coco husk fiber plaques are a popular choice for gardeners who won't be mounting their orchids directly on a tree. They hold sufficient moisture and are an attractive natural bronze color. Likewise, cork bar slabs and cypress bark slabs both feature many crevices that encourage orchid roots to explore and take hold—though keep in mind that cypress wood can decay quickly in humid environments and may be best suited for indoor use.
