Mounting Media

At 5 inches wide, 11 inches long and nearly 1 inch thick these Cedar Mounting Blocks are perfect for mounting your larger plants. The cedar material is long lasting and it has a rough surface that many orchids will quickly root on to. For those new to growing mounting plants we highly recommend starting with one of the smaller compact cattleyas. The thick fleshy roots will quickly attach to the mounting material, providing a secure and quite attractive way to grow and display your plant. ...

Cork bark is one of our favorite mounting surfaces. We’ve used Cork Bark Slabs for many years and are happy to now offer the same natural product in round tubes.. Cork bark is a great medium for mounting orchids or any plant that needs epiphytic-like conditions. It is a natural product, so each piece is unique. Orchids love the texture and the roots quickly wander thru the rough surface. We place our orchid against the cork and lightly cover with moss on the outside, firmly tying the plant...

Virgin cork is the cork bark that comes from the cork tree the first time, normally taken from the tree when it is 30 years old. It is too rough and irregular to be used for cork stoppers, but provides the perfect surface for mounting your orchid. It is lightweight, rot resistant, non-toxic, soft and buoyant. Virgin cork is an environmentally and ecologically friendly renewable product. Virgin cork bark is a great medium for mounting orchids or any plant that needs epiphytic-like conditions....

Sold exclusively at Kelley’s Korner Orchid Supplies! Anyone who has grown orchids in a clay pot already knows about the difficulty when it’s time to repot. Many orchids with big fleshy roots such as cattleyas firmly attach themselves to the clay, making it very difficult to remove the plant without damaging the roots that have securely attached to the pot surface.  These Terracotta Mounting Jars are the perfect choice for anyone who desires to grow mounted orchids. We’ve worked with a...

We are always looking for new and fun ways to grow our orchids. Our Terracotta Mounting Jars have been a great success for us to grow them mounted and we are excited to now offer these Terracotta Plant Pockets. These are created by our friend Abby at Coldbrooke Pottery. Each piece is carefully handcrafted with the wonderful details shown here before being fired. A patina is applied to highlight the details and beauty of each piece. They have a generous open “pocket” at the bottom which allows...

Porous totems sawn from Fern-wood. Terrific for plants that like to climb, or saw them into shorter lengths for smaller plants. We simply screw rust resistant eye hooks into the top of the totem and hang them allowing the orchid to grow and wrap around the Tree Fern Pole. Tree Fern Poles are created by hand from a natural material so dimensions of each pole and density of the tree fern will vary from piece to piece. We select the best pieces on hand and will try our best to accommodate any...

These "pots" are round and hollowed-out of solid tree-fern. Simply plant your favorite orchid in the center using moss, tree fern fiber or your favorite potting media. Then allow your orchid to wander across the top and maybe even down the sides as it roots firmly into the Tree Fern Pot. Tree Fern Pots are created by hand from a natural material so dimensions of each pot and density of the tree fern will vary from piece to piece. We select the best pots on hand and will try our best to...

These are approximately 1" thick rectangles, otherwise they are similar to the tree fern 'poles'. Slabs generally offer more flat surface growing area than totems. Tree Fern Slabs are created by hand from a natural material so dimensions of each slab and density of the tree fern will vary from piece to piece. We select the best slabs on hand and will try our best to accommodate any special request whenever possible.

Attractively shaped octagonal (8 sided) wood baskets, with hangers included.Wood baskets are a natural and attractive solution for growing many plants that either resent growing in the more strict confines of plastic or clay containers. Likewise, the three dimensionality of wooden basket containers allow for some medium around the roots which prevents the roots from drying as quickly as would a similar plant growing on a slab or mount.We've tried many items to line our baskets and find nothing...

These are very similar to our traditionally shaped Square Wood Baskets, but are hand crafted just for us in the state of Maine using rot resistant Cedar wood. We love growing many of our vandaceous orchids and even our miniature cattleyas in wood baskets but find that over time that many of the wood baskets on the market will eventually decay. We are excited to find a source to create for us these custom made Cedar Wood Baskets at an affordable price.Our Square Cedar Wood Baskets are available...

For those that like to grow Vandas and other orchids bare root with no media, Wood Slat Mounts work great and can be used either horizontally or vertically.Slat mounts can also be used as a plant hanger for a potted orchid, and make ideal “coasters” for locating an orchid in your home or office.

We were so satisfied with our custom made Cedar Wood Baskets that we asked for these wood slat mounts. These are hand crafted just for us in the state of Maine. They are very similar to the popular Wood Slat Mounts but made using water resistant Cedar wood. They are excellent for mounting many types of orchids, but we especially like to use them for small vandaceous orchids or mini-cattleyas. These smaller orchids with large fleshy roots benefit from the increased airflow of the wood slats...
