Anyone know of a US source?

Blk Jungle and Josh used to carry but dont anymore.

They were the best plant mount background Ive ever seen/used.

I am looking for more...

Coco Fiber 12'' Square (Red) - Backgrounds | Josh's Frogs

It's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but I put them in my main vivarium and plants have had no problems whatsoever rooting themselves into it.

Yep, Joshs has the "red" coco squares, but I had some of the darker brown ones before, but I cannot find them anymore. Keeping an eye on this thread, hopefully somebody can find these again.....


Got me looking, but I cant find anything in the US. Brand called Lucky Reptile Background from the UK on ebay (ships to US):

Also I know some plant shops use coco fiber plant liners...and might actually have rolls you can cut, but may be too skinny for what your looking for. Just throwing out ideas...hmm

apparently coco fiber squares at josh's frogs are brown on the back

 

[ChrisK]

No these are like nothing that are around now - I used them in the 90s and they're kind of like softer flexible large tree fern panels that last a LONG time, almost like really dense sponges.

I think this is what you are all looking for: Hermit Crab Scenic Coco Background

 

[zBrinks]

These used to come to the US from the same supplier that provided peat brick. As far as I know, that overseas supplier owes some people stateside money for goods never delivered, and disappeared off the face of the earth.

While not ideal you can find 20"by 10" coconut huck backgrounds designed for hermit crabs for $5 at PetSmart. They are dark brown in color and while a little on the thin side work fairly well, especially if you get rid of the velcro strips they come with and use silicon instead.

Yea..those plant liners you can find at many of your hydroponic shops...you can buy them 4'x8' sheets..I believe you can get thin in different thickness from 1/4" to 1/2" or so...people like to use them to grow their " tomatoes" indoors!!!!!

I made my own by using the chunky coconut husk chips used in orchid mix and silicone. Applied a thick layer of silicone on the back of the tank and then mashed in the coconut husk into it. Of course it's not as thick as what you could purchase before but looks like it will support plant (vine in my case) growth up the back of the tank and covered very well.

Here's a photo of the coco husk in silicone.

Shawn, I'd encourage you to try EcoWeb panels. I've had great results with them, plants root in them beautifully, moss grows on it, and they don't biodegrade. They are also easy to cut and shape.

^ Source?

The Coco panels [Chris U know what I mean ] are no longer made. I contacted the overseas supplier, and they/ he responded.

They are working on new products now....so get your money back Josh

Hey shawn is this the stuff your looking for?

 

[npaull]

Hey Shawn,

Check out:

Orchid Growing Supplies Semi-hydroponics Hydroponics Orchid Books PrimeAgra

for Eco Web. I've really liked it.

 

[EvilLost]

Any hydroponics shop will carry compressed coco mats.

I prefer the 1/4" thick, but there is also a 1" thick version.

The ones I buy come 8'x4' for $30.


I see Erik S already beat me to it

I looked back over my records and this is where I bought mine a few years back. Website says they are out of stock.

I would 2nd the EcoWeb recommendation.

Just FYI - cut EcoWeb with a bread knife. I tried using surgical shears and almost got a blister. The bread knife went through much, much easier.
