Hygrolon Source needed
#1
Anyone know of a place to purchase Hygrolon? The only place I can find is always out of stock....

Folius is about the only place in the US for the real deal. Their "email me when it's in stock" feature seems to work.

The alternative is AquaMat from Firstrays - http://firstrays.com/cart/Orchid-Growin ... ral-Fabric - it's apparently similar, although I've never tried it.

Anyone have experience or reviews of either of these products?

I've used Hygrolon. Does pretty much what it says on the wrapper :-)

Well the wrapper sounds pretty awesome!

Thanks!

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use it. I used hygrolon over ecoweb on the sides of the last two vivs I built, and it seems to be keeping them dramatically wetter; enough so that I'm misting them at about 1/4 the rate I mist my other vivs. The goal is to hopefully be able to grow moss / epiphytes on it essentially as if they were on sphagnum, but a little easier to maintain. So far I've not had a lot of luck growing moss on them, but that's a slow process at best. Have also been trying to get Riccia established on it without much luck, but it's early days yet.
