This is an absolute staple and essential to my plant's health. I highly recommend trying. It's also a great value for the money.

Works great on my orchids

I've been growing orchids for a while now and I like this soil. Is great for most orchid varieties. Its also a good price for 2 nice size bags. My plants sit sturdy and look healthy. Easy to use.

It was OK. I thought it was too chunky and it drying really fast so I have to keep watering

The product came fast and was exactly as described, it was beautiful in color odorless can’t wait for blooming to start, very natural and very suitable for the orchid, instructions were easy follow and the thickness was consistent all the way through. Very happy with it.

I have kept orchids indoors for many years and have great success with them. They bloom at least once a year, some twice. Store-bought orchids will be content in their cheap plastic growers pots for a while, and you should not transplant them while blooming. But soon, if they like their location and conditions, those roots will grow and crowd the pot, also retaining too much moisture. Your orchid leaves will not be the dark lustrous green they are supposed to be. Then you know it's time to transplant but be careful! Sterilize your tools, be gentle and trim off the dead roots. As a matter of practice, I will pour enough water into the repotted plants so I know all the new soil is wet, let it thoroughly drain... then resuming a sparse watering schedule. My orchids are healthy and have lived quite a long time with proper care. The soil is easy to scoop by hand, you don't need a spade. The soil also smells clean and is just the right particular size to tuck into the roots but prevent compaction. I like the ziplock seal, to keep for future use without the risk of contamination. Best wishes and enjoy your lovely orchids!

Great choice for replanting my orchids!!!

Fantastic orchid mix. I bought some discount orchids and they have all rebounded in this mix. The bag is also a great size and lasted through 4-5 pots. It also smells great which I wasn’t expecting but is a plus.
