I found a bag of this potting stuff at my local nursery for 1.00. It said for Orchids and Bromalaids. The original price on the bag was crazy high.

Osmunda Fibre.


I have this bird house that does not have a bottom drain hole but notice it has a big hole in the front.

Anyway I am trying it with cheap plants and see what happens.

Looks pretty

Cinta that is so cute, and will look wonderful indoors for the winter. That type of plant should love the Osmunda Fiber, since it is for orchids, should do well for these.
Will be interesting to see them at the end of winter.

Thank you. Yes I am hoping to have a pretty interesting Sun Room this winter. It will make me happy all winter.

It would make me happy.

That is so cool Cinta!

The little Starfish or Earth Star Brom's are on of my favorite plants too. (Cryptanthus bivittatus) I've been growing them for years, and they are so multi tasking;...from miniature gardens to cool tropical plantings along with many succulents that have the same needs. I feel they have been far to overlooked for what they have to offer... (-: }.

I love the planter, and those little guys absolutley thrive in Orchid type mediums like Pine bark fines with a little course sand and a small dash of peat moss added too.

Thanks David. I threw a little soil on top. This stuff is really course so I did not know if it was good to hold any moisture.

Well I like your container design because its looking very beautiful and perfect fir keeping inside the home, like living room, or kitchen. and those flowers are also looking great.

I have no doubts they will love the osmunda fiber too Cinta.

Very pretty

Cinta, such a cute little planter! It's so colorful and cheerful.

Hi Jason12, Nice to have you here at ATP!!

Hi Jason, and a great big to ATP.
Would love to see some of your containers.

Great Job I love finding a bargin and making something that looks like a million I don't have any bromolaids but this is making me think I need some Opps I do have a couple of pineapple plants I started last summer.
