My photo's show the state of the plant when I received it, but have now re-potted it in a mix of bark & pearlite within a basket and have buried all the roots as best I can coz they weren't very long and so the plant is sitting shallow in its pot!. However, I'd really like to know if it would be better if I mounted it? BUT, I've never done this before with any other of my plants... I'd sure like some help if you can? Such as how to do this best? I've only heard that you can use nylon fishing line to secure the pant, but to what I secure it to, hell knows! It's 'looking' healthy (which is at least something) but ??? :-(
