Description

In the wild, most orchids live clinging to trees: their roots are in the open air, drinking the rain and then drying out. In a pot, they need a mix that recreates this. Our orchid mix is made of large pieces that let air and water through and never compact.

What it does

  • Room for the roots, which stay green and firm.
  • Quick drying between waterings, with no standing water.
  • Ready to use: just prepare it and repot.

How to use it

  • Rinse the mix, soak it for 10 to 15 minutes, then drain.
  • Take the orchid out, remove the old mix and trim any hollow or black roots.
  • Repot into a pot with drainage holes, preferably clear, sliding the mix between the roots without pressing down.
  • Wait about a week before watering again, by soaking.

Which size should I choose?

The 1 L bag is enough for one or two orchids in 12 cm pots. The 2 L and 5 L bags suit collections; the 5 L works out cheaper per litre.

Frequently asked questions

When should I repot an orchid? Roughly every two years, after flowering, or when the mix breaks down and stays wet. Can I use ordinary potting soil? No: it suffocates the roots, which rot. Epiphytic orchids need a coarse mix like this one, or bark chips. Mixed and packed at our Rabat studio. Delivery anywhere in Morocco for 40 MAD, payment on delivery, or collection from the studio at 6 Rue Zemmour, Aviation (Tuesday to Saturday, 10am–6pm).
