This is what happens when a mounted orchid truly makes itself at home.
This Grt. Henry Wan has turned its cholla wood mount into much more than a place to grow. Its aerial roots are wrapping around the wood, following its natural texture, exploring the openings and even disappearing into the cavities inside the cholla.
And those bright green root tips? They’re the part I can’t stop looking at.
For me, this is one of the most fascinating things about growing orchids mounted on cholla wood. Over time, the relationship between orchid and mount changes. The wood stops looking like something the plant was simply attached to and starts becoming part of the way the orchid grows.
The roots choose the direction.
The roots find the openings.
The roots make it home.
