These days Sphagnum moss which is extensively used in nurseries for making moss sticks to grow money plants, Philodendrons etc has become very expensive. Many nurseries use coir in place of the moss. However, the appearance of the coir sticks is a bit shabby. Apart from that drawback, it takes good amount of labour in tying the coir on the stick.
To save the cost I tried using coir ropes. This becomes not only cheap but also saves a lot of labour. Here are two images of the coir ropes usage.
