Coconut Fiber for Potting and Mounting
1 lb of Long coconut husk fiber. Great for many plant uses, particularly with orchids. $6 discount when you purchase 3 lbs (Select the 3 lb option, not 3 of the 1 lb option)! Contact us to buy by the bale (~75 lbs for $350 plus shipping). Here at the Orchids For The People nursery, this is our go-to potting medium! 95+% of our plants now live in just coconut fiber! It’s easy to use. When using it as a potting medium just fluff it up, pillow (don’t wrap) it around the roots, and stuff the whole “unit” into a pot with really good drainage. We recommend terra cotta pots or “Raindance” pots, which we also sell. The “unit” should be very snug in the pot. What we love about coco fiber: Slow to break down. Will easily last 2 years, the maximum recommended time between repottings. Very lightweight (easy on the back and the tables). Holds moisture while allowing great air circulation when used with the appropriate pot (lots of drain holes) or basket. Roots and flower spikes penetrate easily. Y
