Epiweb
Hi i have been disappointed with the selection of wall pots available for broms,untill a came a across a new product called epiweb,a tree fern fiber substitute made from recycled plastics. The material can be formed to make baskets, branches and other devices for growing epiphytic plants,the roots not only attach to the surface, but they also grow into the material, in turn, holding the plant in place.here i cut to size and bent into shapes and glued to slate.

Hi Thierry ,This is were purchase it http://www.dartfrog.co.uk/epiweb/ .
The material is tough and can be cut by knife or saw with small teeth, or a hot-wire.I got 3 triangle shapes out of one 250 x 120 x 20mm slab and then bent into pocket shapes,which were then glued to the tiles.i have only just started using it .To me, it pretty good stuff as it is tough and versatile.
Here i have wired a small clump of pups to it.
