HOW TO REPOT AN ORCHID:

  • Fill the container 3/4 full with the best Orchid Potting Mix — leave a small, crater-like hole for your plant
  • Carefully remove the orchid and place your type of orchid in the container, find the best position so roots can fit
  • Be sure not to damage the roots or stem, you can trim back dead roots if desired
  • Backfill the remaining container space with the Orchid growing medium
  • Spray with a spray bottle or place an ice cube on top of mix as a general rule
  • Water once a week
  • Use the potting media when repotting your orchid as well
  • Do not repot until the orchid finishes flowering

Is your orchid plant getting enough light? If not use grow lights to provide the proper growing conditions and produce those beautiful orchid blooms.

Use Orchid potting mix for other plants like african violets, tree fern, or tropical plants. You can also use the orchid bark as mulch for some plants. Do not use it for things like succulents that like dry soil conditions.
