Default What ever happened to Orchid Blocks

Osmunda is the fibrous root mass of a fern, and is somewhat flexible. I
think you might be mistaking the rigid "trunk" of tree ferns, which were
often used as "totem poles" for climbing plants.

I see someone suggested it's Oasis, if the picture is in color then Oasis
would be a solid dull green. Osmunda is a fiberous black. Osmunda also
came
in pole shapes to allow Philodendrons to climb on.
