Sample pack, 4 Ceramic Mounts
These clay mounts were designed and made by hand specifically to help you grow
spectacular mounted orchids and other plants.
The offering here
is a sample pack consisting of two small mounts and two medium mounts, all for $15 plus shipping.
Ceramic mounts have a number of advantages over cork,
tree fern, grapewood and even cypress.
We think they are the ideal media for mounting orchids and other epiphytes,
for a number of reasons.
They do not rot the way other mounting material does.
They don’t provide
a home for various insect pests the way other material does.
They seem to have fewer problems with salt build-up
than other materials.
They are reusable.
And because they absorb water and allow it to slowly
evaporate, they help to keep roots cooler in a warm greenhouse.
Each of the small mounts is roughly
4 inches high by 3 inches wide -- ideal for small orchids and plants like staghorn ferns. The medium mounts are roughly 9
to 10 inches high and 4 to 5 inches wide.
We mount by running copper wire through the mounting holes to form a
hanger. Then we use sphagnum moss around the roots of the plant and attach to the mount using strips of old panty hose.
We have been selling out of these mounts at orchid shows. We think the irregular shapes add to the natural look and
beauty of a mounted plant.
