Bioleaf Orchid Potting Mix - 5L
When it comes to orchids, the potting mix you choose can be make or break. This Bio Leaf Premium Orchid Potting Mix is crafted from quality hard orchid bark, tree fern fibre, hardwood charcoal and pumice - components that promote healthy airflow, moisture retention and drainage. Suited specifically to the needs of orchids, this potting mix is an open medium that allows air and high volumes of water to move freely over the roots without becoming waterlogged.
As orchid enthusiasts will know, a ready supply of water is key to growing great orchids. However you don't want to oversaturate the soil, as the roots could suffocate! Orchid roots also need plenty of air - so you need a potting mix that holds enough moisture without suffocating the roots of your plant. This is where Bio Leaf's Premium Orchid Potting Mix comes in; designed to create a environment for healthy root development in orchids, promoting growth, health and flowering.
Depending on time of year, watering should be required every 3 to 5 days. In most circumstances this potting mix should last for about 3 years before you need to re-pot.
This is the coarse grade Orchid Potting Mix, which is suitable for orchids growing in a 4”-5” pot size. This mix is suited for orchids that have thicker roots like the Cattleya or Phalaenopsis or roots that require slightly less moisture like some of the Vanda alliance.
Growth Technology Orchid Focus GROW - 250mL
