Good question, Anna. Sometimes that can be a little tricky. For one thing I have a nice work-bench in one of the greenhouses, and all this is done on that work-bench. I just hand-hold the plants/coir/sphagnum moss against the mount, with the mount resting on the work-bench. I use the other hand to tug on that wire, slowly but surely cinching the plant(s) against the mount. I won't twist the wire(s) until everything is tight.

Perhaps these pictures will help some. Some of these will show the florist wire and some were done (a couple of years ago) using plastic-coated wire (found in the garden center of Lowe's) or even just plain galvanized wire. Don't use copper wire unless it is coated. Copper is toxic to many plants.
