    Question Which materials you prefer for mounting your orchids?

    Dunno how to create a poll so I'll just ask here as it is

    • on pine bark
    • on cork bark
    • other tree bark
    • driftwood
    • clay pots
    • basket


    Personally I like cork bark pieces and nice driftwood for artistic mounts. But I found great also clay pot mounts and I'm looking forward to try it soon!

    Most of mine are on cork. But for no other reason than it has been the easiest to obtain in usable sizes.

    Only one is on your list and it depends on the plant but my preferences in order - weathered cedar root, hardwood slab, cedar slab and cork bark, especially cork tubes. I've been thinking about trying clay saucers.
