Hey! So I recently got a plant let of a ghost orchid! Ooo rare

So I’m wondering what’s the best way to mount orchids. My questions are mainly what moss to use, and does it matter if it’s alive or dried, and what bark will last a long time without rotting. It takes several years to mature so I need a mount that won’t rot. Thanks!

Nice! I’ve seen some YouTube videos about this. Might be a good place to start so you can see some different options

I’ve heard that they have to be watered every single day if they’re mounted to bark

Cork seems to be the mount of choice.

Most mounted orchids use dried sphagnum.
