This mixture is composed of peat, bark, lava rock, and charcoal. The bark offers excellent drainage while retaining some moisture, which is essential for orchids’ root health. Perlite is added to enhance aeration and ensure the roots receive enough oxygen. Additionally, charcoal helps to absorb excess moisture and prevent fungal growth in the mix. This carefully formulated blend provides an optimal growing medium for orchids, promoting healthy root development and robust growth. Fertilome Orchid Mix is a valuable choice for orchid enthusiasts seeking to provide their plants with the ideal conditions for flourishing and blooming.
