tree fern root / tree fern plaques Explanation: they are roots that grow over the stems of "tree ferns", and are cut to use as a substrate for growing orchids and other plants. Here are some references: TREE FERN - A potting media. Chopped trunks of tropical ferns (primarily Cyatheaceae family). http://www.phals.com/rb_glossary.html Tree Fern Plaques are cut from the external root system of the Tree Fern trunk which grows in the mountains of Central America’s rain forest. The plaques are mostly used to mount orchid plants as well as bromeliads and staghorn ferns. http://www.tindaraorchids.com/index_tindara.htm?mediums_moun... The other type of fern-fibre is the ***fibrous root-encrusted trunks of tree ferns***. The trunks with larger amounts of fibre are harvested, planted upside down in decorative gardens (mostly in the urban areas) and used as a substrate for certain types of epiphytic ferns and orchids. Often the fibre is cut off in slabs to be used for a similar purpose; the crushed fibre is also used as a growing medium. http://www.anbg.gov.au/fern/ferns-man-ng.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 1 hr 40 mins (2006-01-02 00:58:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Los helechos arborescentes (Cyathea spp.) son muy abundantes en los bosques de la zona y son cortados con la finalidad de comercializar el cospe (raíces y troncos del helecho), que es utilizado en los viveros como sustrato para colocar las orquídeas http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/sites/index.html?action=Sit... |
