How to Mount Orchid on Cork | Spirograph Method 💪🏼Mounting Podangis dactyloceras #ninjaorchids

Spirograph! Are you from a generation that remembers the Spirograph kit with the circles, where you used color pens, stuck them into the different holes and all these fabulous designs would come to life? It was a favorite pass time of mine, and after many decades, I am applying what I used to do with a pen and sometimes wool threading to my orchid. I am mounting my orchid to cork applying my newly thought out technique 'The Spirograph Method' 🤩 How to keep roots safe when mounting an orchid to bark. #orquideas #orchideen #orchidcare #podangisdactyloceras #orchidmount #tutorial
