| I use coconut husk on nearly all my mature orchids (just cos it was what I could get at the time) The instructions say to soak it for an hour before you pot up, and I just use the finger method of checking when to water again, or the weight of the pot. I've never had any problems with it, depending on how the mood takes me I either soak the plant for 5 mins or flush it through, Judi |
