FAQ
Why can’t you ship it everywhere?
It’s a natural plant product, so quarantine rules apply. We can only send it within Australia, and not to Western Australia. International orders including it will be cancelled or have the tree fern fibre removed.
Where does the fibre come from?
It’s salvaged tree fern fibre, supplied by Specialist Plant Supplies.
Is it pasteurised?
No. It may contain a few weed seeds, bugs or gnats. We recommend pasteurising it before using it indoors, in enclosed environments or for seed raising.
How do I pasteurise it?
Heat it to at least 70°C and hold it there for 30 minutes. That kills everything in it, good and bad. Letting it dry out completely has also worked well for us against bugs and gnats, though drying won’t deal with weed seeds.
Can I use it on its own?
Yes, for orchids, hoyas and pole fill. You can also blend it with other substrates to build your own mix.
What size is the bag?
10L, which is a good size for trying it out on seedlings and small plants. Its also ideal for filling a Propstick 40
