Large Thai Coconut Shell Hanging Planter with Intact Natural Husk Pith Coir and Traditional Village Jute / Cotton Woven Rope. Used By Premier Thai Orchid and Flower Nurseries – Indoor / Outdoor Use
TOTALLY UNIQUE: These hand harvested coconut shells are the remnants of the prized seed that contains the coveted coconut milk and meaty copra, which are prime ingredients in traditional Thai cuisine. Nothing goes to waste as these pieces are packaged up and sold to orchid and plant nurseries throughout the Kingdom.
SKILLFULLY CRAFTED: Handcrafted in the Northeastern villages of Thailand, these half shell planters are made from the outer coconut; the pithy part that protects the nut.The split outer shell is then actually wired together with steel wire, which allows the coconut shell to expand with the roots of the plant and allow for excess drainage. The wired shell, which contained the authentic pithy coconut husk, retains ample moisture for your plants to thrive.
TRADITIONALLY THAI:This simple but highly effective coconut shell with coir accoutrement is viewed as essential to many Thai professional and home aficionado orchid growers for successful propagation and arguably produces some of the most beautiful orchids on the planet.
HAND CUT:Individually handcrafted and designed to endure daily use, these multi-functional plant hangers adorn the garden walls and entrance ways to many Thai Temple gardens and are functionally designed to allow water to drain even if drenched in a monsoon rain.The metal wire use to bid the staves will fade to an oxidized patina over time that will also match the color of the dark outer skin
BASKET SIZE & KIT CONTENTS: Natural coconut radius at widest point is approximately 7 inches and the length of the heavy duty hand woven jute/cotton hangar approximately 24 inches. The kit also includes 250 grams of premium raw pithy coconut shell mulch to use for pot your favorite flora. As with all handmade and natural products, the size of the shell will vary slightly, as they are not mass produced and each coconut shell is unique.
