The
Materials
consists
of a plastic material that will not decompose and it will always keep
itself moist and free from substances which could harm roots. Epiweb
is 100 % Toxic free and are made of 70 % recycled plastic.
It is avaliable in several designs, for planting in pots and as slabs.
The material is also avaliable in larger plates for use as background
in glass display cases etc.

EpiWeb®
· Is pH neutral
and non-decomposing. Has a low salinity and easy to rinse.
· Is easy to plant in and makes the plant stand steady in the
pot.
· Doesn't float and is therefore easy to water.
· Protects roots in block cultivating (roots grow inside material
instead of on top of).
· Prolongs time to reeplant (no replanting due to decomposed
substrate).
· No disturbance of the plant while exchanging decomposed substrate.
· Natural appearance, very close to real Dicksonia.
· Suits all epifytics etc
· Could be mixed with every kind of substrate or used as the
only material.
· Light, therefore low shipping cost and maintains its qualities
for a long time.
· Creates a microclimate around roots with lots of oxygen and
moisture. |
is a PET
microfibre. It will not decompose and it will always keep itself moist
