Tanya Lam will be sharing her successes, "Potting Using Coconut Mixes"

At this month's meeting, Tanya Lam will be sharing her successes using coconut mixes on various orchid genera, how to prepare the coconut, and formulas for the mixes.
She encourages orchid growers to try using coconut as a natural organic and inexpensive medium due to its natural resistance to pests and diseases.
Orchid growers can nurture their plants while also supporting eco-friendly horticultural practices. With the recent shortage and quality problem of other medium such as bark and moss, coconut husk is a superior choice for orchid medium.
While many growers are skeptical to using coconut in their mixes due to its ability to hold too much water, Tanya will provide many tips for success and share photos of the amazing root growths on her talk.
