Superior Orchid Potting Mix: All-in-One Blend for Seedlings to Mature Orchids with Leca, Bark, Coco Chips & 12-Month Slow-Release Fertilizer

Orchids are unique and captivating plants that require specific care and conditions to thrive. Understanding their natural habitat and growth patterns is crucial to cultivating healthy orchids. Here are some key points to consider when caring for your orchids:

1. Air Circulation: Orchid roots need air, so it's important to use a potting mix that allows for ample air flow around the roots.

2. Moisture Management: Unlike other plants, orchids do not need constant moisture. In their natural habitat, orchid roots get wet during rain and dry out quickly afterwards. A well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture between waterings is essential.

3. Unsuitable Materials: Sphagnum moss, charcoal, and perlite or sponge rock are not recommended for orchids. These materials can inhibit root attachment and growth, leading to suboptimal conditions for orchids. Our orchid mix is guaranteed free of Charcoal, Perlite, and Sphagnum Moss.

Our Premium Orchid Mix with Slow-Release Fertilizer and Microelements provides the perfect growing environment for orchids. This specially formulated blend includes:

• Leca (60%)
• Coconut chips (20%)
• Orchiata Bark (10%)
• Fir Bark (10%)

The open mix ensures proper air flow around orchid roots, while maintaining ideal humidity levels in the pot. The coconut chips absorb water and provide just enough humidity without causing the roots to remain wet. The Pinus Radiata Bark (Orchiata) and Fir Bark offer a natural substrate for orchids to grow on.

Orchiata bark is stronger and harder than regular bark, and is coated with Dolomite, a natural mineral containing calcium and magnesium. This coating helps support recently repotted orchids and prevents salt accumulation.

Our 12-month slow-release fertilizer contains essential nutrients and microelements, encapsulated within multiple layers of polymeric resin. This design allows for continuous, gradual release of fertilizer, ensuring optimal nutrient supply without burning the roots. The fertilizer is suitable for all orchids.

To use our Premium Orchid Mix, simply pot your orchids and add 10 to 15 pebbles of slow-release fertilizer to the top of the medium, evenly distributed. Repeat this process every 12 months to maintain a healthy, flourishing environment for your orchids.
