Some clay tubes might drip a bit at the beginning. You can prevent this with moss spurs before you mount the orchids:

1. Please fill the clay tube with water.
2. Once the clay is really wet you scatter moss spurs (like you find them in the woods) on the surface.
3. As soon as the surface is mossy, you can mount your orchids.
4. Clay tubes are perfect for plants with fine roots like Masdevallia, Pleurothallis etc.
Hint: They are especially charming when you add some other plants. Please lop them regularly since most plants grow faster than orchids. Do not put any fertilizer into the clay tube.

Cork boards

Cork bark

This is cork bark from the 2nd layer. The bark was steamed and pressed, it is approximately 2-3 cm thick. The pieces have different sizes since it is a natural product. We deliver boards of a size of 600-700 cm² approx. It is nearly free of tannic acid because of the steaming. This makes it very root-friendly. These boards are also more stable than those from the 1st layer.

Orchi Flexx

Light, rubber-like string, which makes mounting orchids easier. The string is elastic, does not cut and lets you form knots easily. The dark brown colour matches the underlay and makes it nearly disappear. The string is resistant to UV and lasts many years. There are approx. 15 m on one roll.

Tree fern mounts
are a famous material to mount orchids. They are cut out of trunks of Dicksonia fibrosa and come from plantation cultivation. A CITES is not necessary.
We recommand ORCHI-FLEXX to anchor the orchids.
