Coconut Garden Planters Page 2 of 2  Give a nut a good home and it will last as long as you do. We have planted nuts that are 15 years old. One of our very old ones has part of the nut is broken away with the Orchid roots holding it together.
Ferns and Orchids: To really make a nice display, plant fern through the front husk of the nut. Do this with a sharp serrated steak knife. Punch knife into husk and work it into the shell to create a hole to plug with ferns. The Orchid will grow up from the planter and the ferns will grow out of the front. Very pretty!  Planting tips to help establish your Orchid:I suggest carefully breaking up the inside bottom shell of the nut with a one inch chisel and pulling the loose pieces of shell away. Drill a small hole in the top of shell and wire a stake to it. Press stake into fiber inside of the bottom of the planter and secure the Orchid to it. Use your favorite medium and carefully fill your nut.
