How to Protect Young Hanging Orchids' Roots from Dehydration

In this update to our first #hangingorchid video, we show how new root growth is affected when the #cocofiber covering is removed by #birds; and how to attach a #pouch filled with #coirdust to prevent the young orchid roots against #dehydration.

Nice alternative, thanks! I've lost quite a few orchids because of this. I love using coconut coir but apparently the birds love it more..😄

I use coconut core as a liner in my window boxes. When the Orioles come back north in the Spring, they love pulling out strands of it for their nests. I don't mind; I miss them allot in the winter and it is a joy to see them.

Great idea. I would put a couple grains of slow release fertilizer in the mix.

Excellent idea, thank you. I'll do so now and speak to it in the next update.👍😊
