Media- Packing peanuts
I'm considering putting packing peanuts in the bottoms of my phal's pots to help the roots breathe and try to stave off rot.
I'm talking just a single layer, not a big component of the medium. The rest of the substrate will be somewhat-fine bark and perlite. (about 1/2cm-1com)
Are there any brands/kinds that I should stay away from? I suppose the ones made from cornstarch wouldn't work, since they decompose so well. (my cats love to chase them around...and then eat them. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but hey! Cheap entertainment!)
