Pine Cone Scales as potting media?
Hello all,
Hope you're all well.
I want to repot some phals that I have, and I have access to large quantities of pine cone scales (pinus pinea genus)
and also cypress pine cones.
Has anyone used/experimented with them?
Thank you in advance.

The main concern would be the amount of resin, preferably you would compost the scales using the same methods as how they compost the bark.

I don't think they would last very long. Cones fall apart faster than does fallen bark.
