Artificial plants

4 replies

Hi, I recently purchased a few different artificial plants. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can use instead of oasis to plant them. I have clear hanging pots, which might look a bit silly with green oasis. Any hint and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would line the pot with coir lining, the stuff you put in hanging baskets. That could then hide the green oasis.

@thomashardyperennial that's a great idea, thanks.

Rather than oasis, try crumpled up chicken wire.

Floristry moss or bark chips for orchids would hide the oasis. The wood chips might be enough to support them without oasis.
