Fern Wood New Zealand Tree Fern Soft Orchid Substrate 40 Liter Bag

All of my plants love tree fern fiber. It's pricey but worth it.

Perfect for rooting plants. This is BY FAR the best propitiation medium I've EVER used. Way better than sphagnum moss. Even the hardest rooting plants root easily in this stuff! Highly recommend for anyone trying to propigate, especially Aroids as that's basically all I've used it on. Works great in Anthurium soil as well. It's just amazing stuff.

As a tropical plant grower, always try to duplicate the growing medium. Yes this product is expensive. Yes, this product is in limited production due scarcity of tree fern. Yes it works and my plants are thriving. Highly recommend.

If you find yourself using tree fern fiber a lot, definitely just bite the bullet and get this bag. It’s the same quality as the smaller fernwood tree fern fiber bags, but it’s like getting a 4th bag for free. I highly recommend this!

I wish it were cheaper, but I get it. IT's good stuff. It should be sifted a little more because it is so dense with fine particles as it is, but otherwise, I still enjoy it.

If I could give this stuff zero stars I would. This stuff is awful and I am guessing it is the quality control which is a big freaking risk to take at the price. The first half of the bag was like dust so much so it was akin to peat moss, then after the first half it finally got some sticks to it and then it went back to dust. Way too expensive for this to happen. It started killing all my plants 🤷‍♀️ then I contacted the company and he said it was normal after photos but then when I got to the part of the bag with the sticker like fibers (that was what it was supposed to be I messaged back with pictures showing that the first pictures of the dust was definitely not what it was supposed to be, and after I sent that it was crickets. I had to go out and spend an additional $150 to get some coco chips to mix with this garbage so that I don’t have to lose any more money that this horrible product has already taken from me. It ended up being very expensive between the product and the rare plants it’s already killed. I am not happy one bit. OVER 3/4 of this bag was textured like the pictures above. It was like dust and tiny crumbles. Horrible. Bag of pretty much dust only a tiny percentage was actually usable.

As others have said, this very easy to work with, much easier than bark or a bark mix. I have put a variety of orchids (paphs, phals, bulbophyllums, miltoniopsis, mini catts) in it, but haven’t had sufficient time to determine how well each grows. There are two very informative articles in a recent Orchids magazine with detailed reviews on how it works (apparently spectacularly).

This is a must have for making AGB mix. I’m a bit disappointed that the price jumped 30%. I guess everyone has to be greedy Covid money makers.
