It repels many insects. I buy it by the sack full(shavings from the sawmill) to use as mulch.
I made the mistake of mixing 100 lbs in my compost pile. All of the worms left !

Now I consider this GREAT information! From now on, my orchids which are mounted are going to slowly be changed to cedar planks! Thank you soooooo much. BettyE.

It's true. My partner is a guitar builder and he works a lot with cedar wood. It repells insects and other "beasts".

I have a keiki I want to mount soon, and had woundered about ceder, but was not sure if it would harm the plant.
I am happy to know that it will not, because there is a man not far from me that uses it for crafts.
Not expensive and nearby.
THINK YOU.

I have orchids that I bought already mounted. When I mount one from scratch, I think I will try cedar. I believe Cedar repels moths that eat wool as well. That is why people sometimes have cedar closets.

Well, what I know:The orchids that I have mounted on Cedar do not get any kind of "bugs" eating them. So, as far as my mounted orchids go, they will ALL be mounted on Cedar from now on! BettyE.
