The secret to thriving, re-blooming orchids lies entirely in the roots. Unlike standard houseplants, Orchids are epiphytes (air plants) that naturally grow on trees in the rainforest, not in the ground.

This specialist 5-Litre Dutch formula is specifically designed to replicate that natural environment. It is a chunky, free-draining mix composed primarily of high-quality graded bark. This coarse texture prevents the compost from compacting, ensuring vital airflow reaches the roots while allowing excess water to drain away instantly.

Standard potting soil creates a soggy environment that suffocates orchid roots, leading to rot. By repotting your Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid), Cymbidium, or Dendrobium into this open, bark-based mix, you promote strong, healthy root systems—which is the foundation for spectacular flowering year after year.

Key features:

• Open Structure: Chunky bark base ensures maximum aeration

• Root Rot Protection: Prevents waterlogging and suffocated roots

• Professional Quality: Trusted Dutch formulation used by growers

• Versatile: Suitable for almost all indoor orchid varieties

• 5 Litre Bag: Sufficient to repot 2–3 standard orchids

Perfect for:

• Repotting supermarket Moth Orchids (Phalaenopsis)

• Refreshing old, broken-down compost that has become too dense

• Dividing larger orchids like Cymbidiums

• Ensuring newly gifted orchids have the best start

How to use:
When repotting, gently remove the old compost from the roots. Trim away any mushy or hollow roots with sterile scissors, leaving only the firm, green/silver roots. Place in the new pot and gently fill the gaps with this bark mix—do not pack it down too tightly.

Note: This listing is for a 5 Litre bag of potting mix.

At The Rose Press Garden, we know that an Orchid is only as healthy as its roots. This mix provides the specific "breathing room" they need to survive and thrive.
