This mix of fir bark, coarse pumice, charcoal, and sphagnum moss provides the right combination of good drainage, air flow, and moisture retention ideal for tropical orchids.

How to repot an orchid

Remove all of the old potting medium. With sterilized scissors or pruners, remove any rotten roots. Work in the new mix, shaking and knocking the pot as necessary to fill between the roots. Aim to have the crown of the orchid right on the surface of the bark, not buried below or standing high. Orchids potted in a bark-based medium require more frequent watering than those potted in pure moss.

Packaging

Figaro’s Garden Orchid Blend is packaged in recycled paper bags that are 60% compostable and 40% biodegradable. These bags lined with PLA, a biodegradable, corn-based material that strengthens and improves the durability of the bag. While PLA is compostable in many jurisdictions, it is not yet accepted in Vancouver’s green bin program. Please responsibly dispose of these bags by placing them in the trash.
