Here's my dried coconut off the 60ft tree in my back yard

very good; now open the coconut and use a three sharp prong to detangle some fibers and thats the one you use to line the holes of the pot....you can also use a big hammer to pound the fibers to soften it

when I was in Hawaii....I learned to open a coconut with a long sharp machete....to get the juice and eat the meat....the fiber when dried can be easily pried loose from the inner nut shell

Haha....thats a regular local thing for me in Jamaica...I know all about getting the jelly from the coconut & the coconut water
Refreshing isn't it?!

I potted the V. Manuvadee as per your instruction Bud. You can see below, as well as a newly potted Hawaiian Thrill 'Paradise' & Blc. Golden Tang 'Tiger'.

I snuck in a pic of two new vanda spikes

Very nice...I look forward to pictures of the blooms
