can take very bright light... will rot if wet overnight
5/31/15 Divided up one compot. Ended up with
- net basket with 3 mounts in it (3)
- 3" round pot with 3 plants in it (3)
- meleleuca mount (3)
- oak mount (3)
- frame (1)
- 2" square pots (4)
- 2" round net pots, 3-4 plants in each of 8 pots (runts) (25). Diff mixes in each: some aliflor, some charcoal, some fern, some mixes
total of roughly 42 plants. The plants were in great shape with terrific roots and there was very little breakage or loss during the potting and mounting.
7/11/15 divided second compot
Tried to leave small plants attached to big ones so there are quite a few doubles. Took five largest and mounted on a big piece of cinnamon wood (from spice woods at BC). Two went into 2.5" round and 12 or so into 2" square pots. Pots are filled with peanut on bottom and 50/50 fine charcoal/sponge rock. Very very light media. One big one went into hanging basket with nothing but big charcoal chunks.
.
6/7/15 after a week on the potting bench they look OK so far. Put a few on front yard benches to get more light, spread some out on seedling benches to try different exposures, and put the basket with some mounts in it on the cat chain next to the vandas.
6/28/15 the mounted ones seems to be doing the best
12/23/15 mounted ones great, hanging pots OK, pots on benches in shade dead :(
