Mounting Tolumnia Orchids: Hands on Guide To Mounting Orchids on Trees

You're up early, and I got the first thumps up, as well. Gonna be a good day today.

That's how I do it. 😊 I use live moss though. Tolumnias are one of my favorites ❤ 😁👍

That was so beautiful so natural

Do you sterilize the wood mount if you are using one found outside? Is dead wood better than a fresh fell tree? Thank you for your videos

I was just wondering whether the Tolumnia in a terrarium setting would need to dry out between watering, because I think of it as a very humid atmosphere. I’m still trying to figure out what’s going to be best for my little girls. I don’t have a terrarium but would like to create an atmosphere that they would prefer. This video is excellent and very informative. Good luck with your Tolumnia in the “mini jungle” I look forward to a progress video some time in the future.

Great video I've just learned something i put the spagnamoss first, no I need to change them around lucky I only mounted them 2 days ago on burned log.

That should be very pretty when in flower.

Would you prepare a log by bleaching it? I read that chlorine evaporates in 24 hrs. I have a large piece of driftwood that i used in an 125 gal. aquarium and I was thinking about mounting a Vanda or Brassavola “little star” to it. The log should be good fertilizer for the orchid because of the decayed fish matter.

Both videos have been very helpful. Need to mount a couple of phalaenopsis on wood so I can hang in either my woefully inadequate trees or a relatively shaded back fence...... then bring in if we get a bad tropical storm or a very rare freeze. Love your channel!

I have been very passionate about mounting orchids to trees. The very first time I tried it I was very successful. I had rescued like 20 orchids and mounted all of them and about 18 of them made it. And at the time I had know idea what I was doing. Then sadly the tree that they were mounted on for 2 or 3 we had to cut down. And after that incident I cannot keep mounted orchids alive anymore .😂 I have tried different methods watched hundreds of videos and still no luck. I let it go for a while and now I want to try again. So wish me luck! Im in Los Angeles so our problem here is the heat of the summer misting it every can can be a challenge.. anywho thanks for the video very informative and educational!!!

Where do you buy your tolumnia orchids? I don’t see them in my area.

Aren't you afraid to strangle the roots, or do you tie it at the base of the orchid, at the first attachment? By the way, I love your way of teaching (in combination with your website and the info there). Well structured and easy to understand, even with advanced topics. I really learn a lot from you. Greetings from Vienna in Austria 😊

I live in SW Florida, a paradise for mounted orchids🤗. I grew orchids, in pots, for years and lost many to rotted roots until I discovered, duh, how happy they are mounted. I just had a fence built so that I can hang my mounts on it😉. Excellent videos. Thanks a lot😍

Which variety can I Mount on a tree. Don't damage on monsoon by heavy rain fall, and summer by hot temperature 45°C. Told me which variety can I Mount. I am from India.

Thanks for sharing 😍 Very much appreciated 👍 👏

Fantastic video. Lovely personality
