Has anyone ever used Millemiumsoils Coir chips. I would like to repot some of my paphs and phrags into CHC and would like a good soures of chips. I know someone posted a good type CHC to use that didn't have much salt that needed rinsing out but I can't find that post back again.

Crystal Company of St. Louis is the best (per Antec). I use whatever Marriott Orchids uses.

Thank you Heather! You could probaly call Antec or MArriott Orchids or anyone else who uses this as a medium and buy it from them.(It will be a little more expensive than making your own) I will try to contact the above company given by Paphgirl.(probably your best bet!)

Sources change.
I would rinse it no matter where it came from.

If you're in the Chicago area, you can buy bales of Crystal Company CHC at Oak Hill Gardens and save the freight costs.

Or if you are near me you can come pick some up for free... I can spare a little. Pre-washed...
