Coconut Husk is so wonderful for orchids! It's incredible moisture retentive without feeling wet. Take a moist piece in your hand.. it doesn't feel wet... squeeze it and out comes a drop or two of water. Orchids just love this.. they get good air flow around their roots, but are bathed with the moisture being given off. Want to watch your plants thrive? Try them in a little fine coconut husk orchid potting mix! I wash my coconut husk a minimum of 10 times to remove any salts that may burn tender roots (coconut husk is initially processed in sea water). I then combine it with perlite and charcoal in a wonderful mix for fine rooted orchids as well as seedlings. I use this for all my Phalaenopsis seedlings and I'm still amazed at how incredibly well they grow. I have never found a mix so easy to use and so effective! Coconut husk is also a renewable resource, which comes from the otherwise wasted husk of a coconut. It is very long lasting and slow to break down. This means repotting only every 4 or 5 years, instead of every one or two! Gallon bag holds enough Fine Coconut Husk mix to fill 10 of our 4" round pots. Try it.. you'll love it! 1 gallon Fine Coconut Husk Mix MIXCCFIN$7.75, 2/$14.50 Site Index: page 1, page 2, page 3, page 4. Front Page
