Trialing a few replica trees for my new rhaphidophora cryptantha to grow up. In the wild, these plants use trees as hosts to climb higher into the canopy and reach the sunlight. The roots then grow into the bark and moss growing on the tree and rain water running down the tree gives the roots a chance to drink. I’m trying out a few different tree replicas and will see which ones can attach and grow fastest. From L-R in last photo: 1. Coconut coir 2. 100% moss 3. 40% moss 40% orchid bark 20% charcoal 4. 50% moss 50% orchid bark 5. Old plant of recycled timber (May have been treated pine a long time ago) #rhaphidophoracryptantha #mosspoles #plants #plantsofinstagram #orchidbark #epiphyte
