Thank you for the tutorial. I love the moment when you get the orchid out of the pot, and we all see the roots together. I’m getting up the courage to mount a rescue mini phal and a dendrobium keiki - thanks to your videos I think they will do alright.
I have seen a few of your mounting videos and it didn't stop me from watching this one because there is always something to learn from what you say.Trimming those ends...this is a very valuable piece of advice..worth learning.Thank you.
Enjoyed that video, full of good points and tips. How nice to be doubly pleasantly surprised - first by the root system then by the fact that you didn't have two pieces in the one pot.
Roger your Den. primulinum will be happy. It looks good mounted. With your grow room at 80 % humidity it will do well. Just walked around the orchids outside here after a hard rain. The Dendrobium nobile type Yakidaruma has two flowers buds on a leafless cane. Must be because it gets about 6 hours of direct morning sun. It usually blooms in January.
Ten Chin is certainly not a bad nursery/seller. Manny plants offered from the famous German nursery and Poland came trough them. Certainly the vandacious types and seedlings. Nice plant btw.
That plant had much better roots than the plant I bought this year, but the new growth is throwing out a good number of roots and coming along nicely. I'm getting ready to do the unthinkable (at least for Florida), I'm going to try mounting a Zygopetalum type (Zygonisia Murasaki Komachi). It will be done a bit differently than a traditional mount, in a half round on the back side where I can put extra moss in there to hold more moisture. If it doesn't work, I'm only out a $10 plant. If it does work, game changer for how I grow them.
I trim my Dendrobium roots whenever I re-pot them... it seems to make them stronger here... I don't butcher them, just trim them back, so they can fit in the [selected] pot properly.
The branching root systems normally respond well to clipping the ends of some roots. (I would always try and leave some with their growing tips though.)
I Start watching Rodger with a cup pf tea. That way I understand what he is saying better. Okay fell free to laugh. Can you mount all Dendrobium that way.
You can mount any epiphyte orchid and most do ok. Some may be just too big and those that need to stay moist all the time would dry too quickly unless you water 2 or even 3 times a day.

I have learned everything about mounting from videos like this. Your Dendrobium mounting videos are the 'Reference'. Thank you.
Perfect timing, I have two Dendrobiums to mount and now have my questions answered...thanks for another very informative video!
You're welcome.

I only trim roots on branching root systems - some orchids produce roots with a single growing tip and rarely (if ever) branch.

Most orchids I've taken out of a pot of soggy old moss have had little or no roots so yes, this was a surprise.
Thanks for a good video on mounting technique. It will be nice to see how this new dendrobium in your collection progresses. Thanks!
It should do ok.
Always something new to learn. Thank you
You're welcome.
Love Ten Shin! Matt is great!
His stand had some good plants and quite a few that no-one else had.
Good solid mount indeed. It looks attractive straight up. I'm looking forward to watching this one and it's progress. Good stuff
Thanks.
nice job Rodger, nice bit of roots there, great video!
Unexpected root system on this one - I wasn't expecting much.
Wow, those roots! Great new addition, and nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
Oh interesting! One of my ponders being answered.Thanks!..
You're welcome.
Do you any other wood besides cork Roger?
I mainly use cork bark but I have used a little English Oak too.

My Dend. nobile Country Girl also has buds on one cane, it flowered beautifully in Feb. Must be all the daylight here in AK.
Many of the nobile hybrids are so vigorous, they often pop out a few blooms out of season.
Roger's Orchids Thank you Roger
Nice one, I use elastic tread for my mounts , much easier to handle than fishing wire.
very informative, thank you
You're welcome.
Fishing line first and moss on top 😁

They had some good plants at Malvern - I know many that bought from them.

I had a period where my Zygos were doing well and then they just went downhill. Still alive, but looking poor.

I want you to do all your videos again!
I started trimming the roots instead of finding a big mount to fit it (and have way too little hanging space)
Existing roots hydrate/feed, new roots attach.

When do you water? How often??
Depends on how warm it is - normally every 2nd day.
