BIO LEAF PREMIUM ORCHID POTTING MIX NO 1 (5 LITRE) Mix 1: Made from bark nuggets that are approximately 3 to 8 mm in size and is suitable for orchids growing in a 2”-3” pot size.

This is a premium orchid potting mix which is a blend of quality hard orchid bark, hardwood charcoal, perlite and scoria. This potting mix can be used for most orchids. We have developed this substrate around 3 criteria:

>> Take a long time to break down. We expect the ingredients to last 3 years or more before repotting is required. >> The potting medium is open. This allows water to flow freely over the roots and for the roots to have access to air. >> Holds some residual moisture and nutrients for delivery to the roots.

The thickness of the plant's roots can be used to determine the grade or size of potting material to use. Mix 1 can be used for fine rooted orchids, orchids that require more moisture and Mix 2 can be used for orchids that have thicker roots or for orchids that require less moisture.

A good rule to follow with orchids is, thicker roots are able to store more water and require less watering compared to orchids that have thinner roots and will require more frequent watering.

Orders are dispatched within 3 working days after the receipt of payment.
