How to Attach Vandas / Living Knitted Sculpture
Things to Prepare
Vanda・・・1
Short wire・・・2-3
Long wire・・・1
① Pass the roots of the vanda through the net.
② Secure the roots of the vanda and the bottom of the orchid stake together with short wire.
③ Secure the stem of the vanda and the orchid stake together at two to three points with short wire.
*If the orchid is unstable, try securing it at more points.
④ Pass the long wire through the net in and out of its bottommost row until you have gone in a complete circle. Take both ends of the long wire, pull them tightly, and twist both ends of it several times to secure it in place.
*Performing this step while hanging the net makes it easier.
⑤ Bend the circular frame of the net into your desired shape.
⑥ Lastly, adjust the angle of the orchid stake so the vanda sits straight in the net.
