Potting - PDF

We recommend Coconut Chips for Orchids, a 100% Natural Coconut Fiber with Charcoal and Spongerock. We offer it in two sizes: MEDIUM for Miltoniopsis, Paphiopedilum, Oncidium and LARGE for Phalaenopsis, Cattleya, Vanda

Some advantages over bark:
• Drains well
• Does not break down quickly
• Aerates well
• Easy to work with
• Cost effective
• Particularly effective in resisting rot, fungus and other infestations

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prior to use, soak potting media overnight, drain and rinse. Soak overnight a second time, drain and rinse.

2. Pot orchid in new pot and firmly pack potting media around roots. Remember, orchids like to be root bound, pots should be just a little larger then roots.

IMPORTANT: Coconut Chips are highly water retentive. Adjust watering accordingly.
