Because of a limited availability of growth mediums for orchids here in Namibia, I'm always looking around trying to find alternatives and things to use. Now I've got hold of some cocoa shell mulch that looks like it could work. I've already decided to give it a try with one or two NOID phals as an experiment.
Does anybody here use cocoa shells as growth medium? I'd like to hear your experiences, both the good and the bad.
