How to make a mounted display

For an unusual way to display your orchid, why not mount it on a piece of cork bark to hang on the wall. YOU WILL NEED

Q Orchid your garden

Q Cork bark or sustainably

Q Mounting hook sourced

Q Fishing wire sphagnum

Q Moss from moss

Step by step

1 Choose a piece of cork bark with a flat back and screw a mounting hook to the back, near the top.

2 Remove your orchid from its container and carefully ease away all the bark/soil mix from the roots.

3 Strap a layer of moss to the bark with fishing wire, strap the base of the orchid on top, adding more moss.

4 Water weekly by soaking the bark and orchid roots in water. Drain before re-hanging. Mist regularly.

In their natural state, orchids often cling to trees, so fixing one to a piece of bark brings an attractive wild look to interiors
