Mounting Media

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....

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...

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.

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...

These hardwood slat raftts are very similar to our Wood Orchid Baskets but with a shorter side on them. For those that like to grow Vandas and other orchids bare root with no media, Wood Slat Rafts work great and can be used either horizontally or vertically. Slat Rafts can also be used to support a small plant mounted on the raft, or as a plant hanger for a potted orchid. These are the perfect size for supporting our 2 1/4 inch square Seedling Pots as shown in the second photo. ...
