cool.. what are the characteristics of it... if you attached it to a piece of monkey vine would it continue to grow around it or do it stay small like that

Some nice grabs in there- that Dendrobium is amazing. I have a Lockhartia that looks similar, and I think mine needs to be mounted but I don't have anywhere for it at the moment. The A. longicaula looks great, too.

I got atleast 3 other Dendrobium speceies as well. I am waiting until the wood gets here hopefully tomorrow before I get too caried away with mounting cuttings.

the pool area ended up shallower than I intended but I guess I have to live with it or tear the waterfall apart.

Heres how it looks so far. The other side of the tank I am holding off on until I get the wood. I need to order a bunch of vines and ect as well. Maybe I will try and make some out of rope and foam.





I got somewhere around 20 cuttings from antone....no idea where I am going to cram them all.

I have a 10gal sump underneath the stand for the waterfall. I might make it a small planted tank with my java moss, duckweed and a few other things to keep growing in stock.

So what is the best method for mounting cuttings? Are they mostly going to be placed in dirt, attached using string/wire, or have their stems shoved directly into the foam?

Yes...lol Most the cuttings are vine species I believe so I am using these oversized plant staples and some spagnum and sticking them into the background.
