Cheater moss balls - Orchid Board

Hello all;

For those of us that are still a bit challenged when making the proper moss ball for our Neos, I found the perfect solution, the "Easy moss wick". Anyone who imports these babies would corner the market.

What blows my mind is you can have the perfectly planted Neo in only 2 minutes and 10 seconds!

I don't grow Neos but I have a question. Since it appears the plug is dry when the orchids is potted, would it then be soaked?

I think these would be easy to make one you developed a mold for the moss to be pressed in.

Shannan makes her own "moss bases" similiar to these using 2 inverted clay pots. She lets the moss dry out and when the pots are removed, the moss keeps it's shape.

Leave it to the Japanese to simplify ANYTHING!!! The air cones that Marrissa has work great too.
