Good drainage is key for the health of a potted plant. Mesquite charcoal is free of chemical additives, slow to decompose, helps drainage, provides air circulation for orchids, and grabs onto nutrients and toxins in any mix it is incorporated into.

These great utilitarian plaques are for all practical purposes 'basket bottoms' from the slatted Vanda baskets. Made from tropical cedar, Cedrella sp., a durable, rot resistent utility wood from Central America. Great for mounting orchids, bromeliads, ferns and more. Fashion a hanger or use an 'S' hook for hanging. They come in several handy sizes.

Useful for many epiphytic plants and essential for Vanda culture. These sturdy, well made baskets are manufactured in Central America from Cedrela odorata, or Tropical Cedar, which has a cedar fragrance and looks like mahogany.

The source of this wood for baskets is mostly as a byproduct of furniture manufacturing, it is long lasting, non toxic to plants and resists rot. The galvanized wires that hold the slats together are of a heavy gauge to last for years.

Medium Orchid Fir Bark -This is an excellent grade of western fir bark suitable for incorporation in potting media.

This is the grade most often used in orchid mixes, bromeliad mixes and those for almost any epiphytic plant. Fir bark adds substance to the mix and aeration.

This is our standard all around fertilizer we use at the nursery for pretty much everything.  The controlled release fertilizer has 5 to 6 months of constant feed at an average temperature of 70° (F).  Of course in warmer conditions the time release is much faster shortening the life span to 3 to 4 months.  It can be incorporated in any potting media at a rate of 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per 6-inch pot or broadcast at a rate of 2 to 3.5 ounces per square yard or cubic foot of mix.
