Review: Works great as a part of my substrate mix!! - I used this product after being recommended it as a part of an all-purpose, bioactive substrate for my terrariums and isopod culture. It's texture is really nice to work with, and I love that it's sustainably harvested compared to something like peat moss (which absolutely ruins bogs!) This tree fern is advertised as a product you could use alone instead of peat moss/typical soil, which is something I agree with! It seems like it holds moisture really well while still draining nicely. I will say that for some reason, my cats REALLY loved the stuff...???? As soon as I brought the bag inside, they were both rubbing on it and nonstop sniffing it, the way they both react with catnip. It's only a plus in my book, though I thought it was really funny! For obvious safety reasons, I didn't let them get in contact with the actual tree fern, or ingest it. The only criticism I might have is the price- I bought it at roughly $30 a bag, which as a part of a mix is perfectly fine, since I still have plenty left over. But if you were to use this as a substitute for a soil substrate or for something like pots or a bed, it's considerably cheaper to get an all purpose potting soil. Otherwise, it's fabulous!
Review: My go to despite - Love tree fern don’t love the bugs or gnat

## Features

- 🌺 Orchids A Plenty- The orchid potting medium for your favorite Orchids including Phalaenoposis, Phragmipedium, Dendrobium, Paphiopedilum, Oncidium, as well as a wide range of other epiphytes and ferns.
- 💕 Capillary Action- Fernwood's Tree Fern Orchid Substrate has a natural wicking action that up water like a sponge and evenly distributes it throughout the orchid potting medium. Allowing every part of the root structure access to the moisture and nutrients necessary for strong and healthy growth.
- 💧 Less Watering- Locks in moisture without becoming oversaturated. Meaning that unlike generic orchid potting mix and orchid bark that tend to dry out quickly and need frequent watering, your plants will maintain their ideal moisture level and do so for longer while still getting much needed aeration.
- 🌿 Only New Zealand Tree Fern- Fernwood tree fern substrate is softer and more porous than South and Central American alternatives and it's not to be confused with what others might call Orchid dirt or Orchid soil. Tree Fern is a soft, fluffy, orchid growing media that is responsibly harvested and fully sustainable.
- 🦎 Reptile Terrariums- Create a reptile jungle or reptile forest floor look and feel with Fernwood tropical substrate. Makes a fully organic reptile bedding. Used as reptile substrate it encourages burrowing, increases humidity, and acts as a natural odor eliminator.

Love tree fern don’t love the bugs or gnat

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hoping itll Save my Waroqueanum
*by B***B on 21 June 2023*

Great substrate for you amphibians of course but I bought this for my Anthuriums and plants. I am hoping this saves my Waroqueanum that died down all the way to a stump. ice and airy and lightweight. hoping it well be great for a variety of plants that require less dense soil substrate. However this small bag is not a good price. I know this stuff is pricey but its made in the advert to look like a huge bag this is abut the size of a small back back. there is a lot in here and if used sparingly should last you awhile but if you had a large plant this one bag would be it. Manufacture should have other size options also as I only plan to use this for my anthuriums so 50 buck each i want to use buy this is by far the most expensive substrate I've ever purchased and I thought pon was going to be my budget killer
