    Could someone PM me a good supplier for tree fern fiber.
    I have a few orchids in baskets that I want to add this to.

    Hello Mike
    I visited a few large orchid nurseries in Santa Barbara this summer, and didn't see tree fern fiber anywhere. Those places used to carry it in abundance 30 years ago. There is a large greenhouse supplier online. I think you would have the best chance there.
