Better-Gro Special Orchid Mix - Premium Grade Orchid Bark Potting Mix for Potting, Repotting, Enhanced Drainage, Air Flow & Root Ventilation, Ideal for Phalaenopsis, Cattleyas, Dendrobiums - 4 Quarts

I bought this orchid potting mix for my two beautiful orchids. Orchids have special needs when it comes to potting. After purchasing my orchids I brought them home and let them rest a few days to get used to the climate in our house. I purchased special plastic pots with holes and this potting soil. I removed the orchids from the store and replanted them into this potting soil. My orchids seemed very happy and grew beautifully. Their blooms were beautiful. The blooms lasted way past the season. I was careful to follow the recommended watering schedule and I have had excellent results with this potting soil.

This orchid mix is fantastic! The blend of bark, charcoal, and sponge rock keeps my orchids’ roots healthy with excellent drainage and airflow. I also mix it with FarmFox soil and perlite for my other plants, and it works really well to improve soil texture and drainage. My plants are thriving, and I highly recommend this for orchids and beyond!

Excellent to work with, good drainage, large and small pieces, I use it for all my orchids of which I have eight.

Bark chunks are larger than expected, but there are a generous amount of smaller pieces as well. Vermiculite and charcoal are also good additives for drainage and maintaining freshness.

My husband got me an orchid in 2014 and since then we have had to repot it a few times. This product was perfect! Our orchid is thriving and looks beautiful. We will continue to use this product as needed.

I love this orchid soil. This is my second time purchasing. Finally my flowers have been able to survive, and even thrive. I have had many orchids over the years. None have survived until I started using this soil. It is easy to use. It does not cause large messes. Its easy to clean up and I can use it safely in my classroom. I notice a lot more blooms on my plants and they grow a lot faster. In the class they grow longer and maintain beautiful color.

Five Stars – The Rolls-Royce of Orchid Mixes!Simply marvellous! Better-Gro Special Orchid Mix has turned my temperamental orchids into blooming divas. The bark blend is top-tier—chunky enough for splendid airflow, yet perfectly absorbent to avoid any diva roots throwing a tantrum.Repotting was a breeze, and within weeks I saw a noticeable perk-up in my Phalaenopsis and Cattleyas. It drains faster than British sarcasm at an American dinner party, and the resealable bag is a stroke of logistical genius. Honestly, if I could give it six stars and a standing ovation, I would.Positively perfect. A must-have for any self-respecting orchid parent.

Low quality. Ingredients listed bark, charcoal and perlite but there were big rocks too. Charcoal was huge chunks, some were as big as a half dollar coin, and had to be crushed before using. Bark all felt wet and soft, reminded me of how soft rotted wood is in the forest. Those large soft pieces were so big they had to be cut into small pieces. With scissors because they were so soft.
