Orchid potting Media
Orchid Medium?????????????
I need Osmunda fast. Have three orchids in hanging baskets that need to be re-potted and I cannot find Osmunda anywhere.
Please help.
If you have a web site I could order from please submit and let me know.
I use it in my aquariums, didn't know it was hard to get. I bought a 40 lb. bale years ago and still have some, but they're expensive. Try this link for smaller quantity http://www.secretgardenrareplants.com/catalog.cfm?category_id=16 RScott

Anyone will say that orchids are one of the most stunning flowers on earth. Even people who are not interested in flowers will look at the orchids and see the beauty. But it is also very difficult to take care of orchids. That is the reason why many people prefer fake orchids instead.
Silk orchids can be used for many purposes. They can be potted or displayed in a vase. Or they can be used at special occasions like weddings. They can be placed several together in a bouquet or used separately as a stem. No matter how you use artificial orchids they will be a beautiful decoration.
The two most popular artificial orchid species are Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium. The reason for that is probably that they also are the most popular real orchid species. But also species like Vanda and Dendrobium are well-liked. And you can always buy them; also if they are normally only found in Vietnam in the winter.
The quality of faux orchids today is really astonishing. Instead of the old flowers made of clothes with plastic stems and leaves, you will get an amazing copy made of silk, nylon and other similar products that makes it very difficult to distinguish from the real thing.
And the fakeness is not only on the orchids. A transparent polymer-suspension can be used to simulate water in a vase. Or it can be sprayed on the orchids to simulate dew drops.
Do you sneeze when you are close to flowers? Then you will love artificial orchids. You can decorate your home with hundreds of orchids without a single sneeze. You just have to buy silk orchids instead of the real ones.
So you do not have green fingers. And all your plants die a few days after you have got them? Not if you choose faux orchids. Just dust them regularly and they will look beautiful for years. And no one can see the difference.
Silk orchids can even handle very hot summers and cold winters. Normally heat or cold will make real orchids withers. With silk orchids it is not a problem. They are very sturdy and can take both the warm sunshine and the cold frost.
Silk orchids look exactly like real orchids. Sometimes they even look better than the real ones. And then they have all the advantages that will make you happy that you bought the artificial version instead of the real ones.
