Care should be taken when handling by wearing gloves and mask, the fibres can cause irritation to the skin, and if breathed in they can also irritate the lungs.

- Always pre-condition in pH 5.5 water before using to disolve lime
- Pre-soak from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, depending on the product size
- Water only when there’s light - never water in the dark
- Optimum room temperature for growing environment is 18.5- 28 for most species. Temperatures above 26.7o C inside the growing media leads to depleted oxygen levels, encouraging root disease
