One of the best and most attractive ways to grow Vandas 
is to use pots made from the trunks of tree ferns that grow 
to great size on the “Big Island” of the Hawaiian group 
(some grow over 40 feet high and 15 feet in girth). These 
large tree ferns are cut and stored in kilns to dry, which 
requires in the larger pieces up to two years, and are then 
processed or shaped for use and shipped to the mainland. 
The beautiful, rich, natural brown-hued fernwood blends 
harmoniously with any setting. 
Due to an ability to absorb and release moisture when 
required, plus natural qualities of priceless plant acid con- 
tent which feed and nurture plant life, orchid plants thrive 
very well in this fernwood. Roots really grow into the fern- 
wood which is actually the most porous orchid pot we have 
ever seen. 
All sizes and shapes are on sale at our nursery, where 
visitors are always welcome. 
We stock ORCHID SUPPLIES for the amateur as 
well as the commercial grower. We are Southern California 
distributors for what is recognized to be one of the finest 
orchid sprays on the market today. We have what is con- 
sidered by many to be the best osmunda fibre in this area, 
and at a very reasonable price. Also, we stock Taylor 
thermometers in four or five different sizes. For Cymbidium 
hobbyists — Sudbury Soil Test kits. For heating, we have 
heaters and thermostats and information for installing.
