Know before you buy
Phalaenopsis orchids are epiphytes that require significant airflow around their roots to prevent rot. This mix uses a blend of Monterey Pine Bark, Hydroton, and Sponge Rock to ensure fast drainage and the high aeration levels these orchids need to thrive.
While it depends on your specific environment, high-quality bark-based mixes typically break down over 18 to 24 months. We recommend checking the condition of the bark annually to ensure it hasn't become too compacted or decomposed.
No, the moss is included in a balanced ratio to provide just enough moisture retention to prevent the roots from drying out too quickly between waterings. The overall structure remains fast-draining, which balances the moisture-holding capacity of the moss.
Yes, this mix is excellent for related varieties like Doritaenopsis and other orchids that prefer a bark-based, well-draining medium. It is specifically formulated to support the root health of epiphytic orchids.
Because this mix is hand-blended and ready to use, you do not need to wash or soak the ingredients beforehand. You can pot your orchid directly into the mix right out of the bag.
