I have made "hydrologs" by surrounding florist foam with sphagnum, followed
by coconut husk fiber, followed by the grid, so I don't see why it wouldn't
work for a totem. I still think that a treefern totem would look better.

Yes Ray, I could see why after examining the plastic grid but someone
mentioned a pouch type of deal?
I also want to make a totem pole for my vanilla. Do you think it would
work?

I have fashioned vanda baskets out of the black plastic variety. Don't
do
it, it's almost impossible to deal with once the plant gets really big
and
you want to remove it.
