🪷 Orchid Mix
Premium, Long-Lasting Substrate for Healthy Orchid Roots
Our Orchid Mix is a high-quality, low-compaction blend formulated to provide the structure, airflow, and durability that epiphytic orchids need to thrive. Whether you’re growing phalaenopsis, oncidiums, cattleyas, or dendrobiums, this substrate encourages strong root systems while reducing the risk of overwatering and rot.
This mix offers excellent drainage while retaining just enough moisture for consistent root hydration—perfect for growers who value long-term plant health and minimal substrate breakdown.
🌿 Flexible for a Range of Growing Conditions
-
In Low-Humidity Environments
If you’re growing orchids in a drier indoor setting or tend to water less frequently, we recommend blending this mix with our soft New Zealand Sphagnum Moss. It increases moisture retention and helps reduce stress between waterings—great for many popular orchid species. -
In High-Humidity or Semi-Hydroponic Setups
This Orchid Mix performs exceptionally well on its own in controlled environments with high ambient humidity or semi-hydroponic conditions.
🌱 What’s Inside & Why It Works
-
Small Orchiata Bark
Premium-grade bark with a longer lifespan than typical orchid bark. It resists decomposition and supports stable aeration for years. -
Coarse Perlite
Enhances drainage and airflow while holding up to 3–4 times its weight in water, supporting consistent root hydration. -
Charcoal (Biochar)
Absorbs impurities, prevents foul odors, and helps ward off mold and root rot—keeping your orchid’s root zone clean and balanced.
🪴 Certified Ingredients
All components of this mix are approved for use in Canadian certified organic crop production systems.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced grower, this versatile mix is a dependable choice for many orchid species. For best results, we recommend combining it with New Zealand sphagnum moss to meet your plant’s specific moisture needs and growing environment.
