home made epiweb substitute?

[jmce96]

hello guys, im new in this forum, but i have experience in growing tropical plants, i live in mexico and have a small tropical greenhouse, its divided in a cold and foggy "cloud forest" habitat and a warm lowland rainforest, i thought it would be nice if i could cover all the walls from the CF area with epiweb, unfortunately, in mexico we dont have that, so i invented my own, i will upload some photoes later(once i learn how)

*i used black shadecloth, i removed all the nylon threads, i started molding it ito a small ball, and then i burned it using the flame of a candle for a few second, this was to secure and make everything stronger, right now i have that small ball with a miniature unidentified mexican orchid attached to it, what do you guys think?/comments?/ideas?/suggestions? i will appreciate all

Orchids can be grown on almost anything.

Epiweb and EcoWeb (the US product I sell) are nothing more than derivatives of "scrubbie pads". If you can find a supply house that caters in janitorial supplies, you might find floor scrubbing disks that fit the bill without all of that work.

*hmm i hadnt thought about that!, i will go to a place of janitoral supplies, good idea, thanks, jus anothe question, whats the texture of epiweb? is it hard are the fibres attached firmly one to another or can you just mold them if you rub the surface?
