Alternatively, wrap some coconut husk around each root before placing the orchid in the shell and securing it with copper wire.
Now, you can secure the orchid-coconut shell combination to a tree trunk or hang it from a branch or pole.
This natural blend of coconut husk and shell serves as an ideal medium, promoting the aeration and moisture retention crucial for orchid health.
The efficacy of this method lies in the unique properties of the coconut, as the fibrous husk creates a balanced microclimate, preventing root saturation (note that orchids require minimal watering) while facilitating proper drainage.
The coconut shell itself acts as an excellent container, providing stability and insulation for delicate orchid roots.
