[GrowInHydro]

Hello Orchidgeeks,

I was working on getting Google to crawl my website properly and came across this forum testing search results! I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Jesse Wright and I'm developing the SwampStick ceramic mounts.

This product is brand new. I've been thinking about it for years, but started developing it February of this year. The SwampSticks have be for sale now for about 2 months. I just posted some updated photos on the website showing some root growth. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer the few I see in this post.

With this mount there is no need to dump out the reservoir water and it will not go "stale". Exactly like a clay pot, the SwampStick is going to wick the water and nutrients through to the surface of the mount, delivering moisture directly to the roots. The velamin in contact with and locked into the mount will take care of uptake and the rest of the root can work on gas exchange.

My idea for the SwampStick is to aid mounted orchids, as mine seemed to suffer even growing in the greenhouse, and I'm positive it will aid people growing indoors or suffering low humidity.

I would suggest following the same culture as any mounted orchid, misting and so forth. The SwampStick is going to lengthen the orchids exposure to water and nutrients for days instead of hours.

I've only been testing for a few months an am getting the results I wanted as dessicated leaves plump back up with a burst of new root growth. I'll continue to add updated photos every month or so.

Best regards!
Jesse
