Product information "Epi-Web trunk three-armed"
EPI-WEB is made of a non-decomposing, very stable synthetic material. The plants remain moist for a long time and are free of any components that are harmful to the roots. EPI-WEB is 100% non-toxic and made from 70% recycled material. The material is available in different panel sizes and is very suitable for back walls in display cases. It is also suitable as a base for tying orchids. At the beginning, the plant must be watered generously; if the material becomes mossy, watering can be reduced.
The pre-formed trunks can be quickly glued to other Epi-Web parts (back wall) with hot glue, or to glass with silicone. The trunks have a natural appearance and, once overgrown, can no longer be distinguished from a natural piece.
The two- and three-armed trunks should have 2 fixed points for stability reasons.
