Our professional bark substrate is ideal for Phalaenopsis and dry-loving orchids. The coarse structure of the bark ensures sufficient ventilation of the pot. We have added a little sphagnum to the substrate to ensure an even water supply in the pot. Here you get a 3 liter bag, which is enough for three 12cm pots.
General information
General information
Orchids, as epiphytes, prefer to grow on trees as epiphytes. Since they have no substrate available in nature and the roots are always surrounded by a lot of air, it is easy to understand why the substrate for our orchids has to be special. In professional cultivation, we use coarse pine bark for this. It is dimensionally stable over a long period of time, does not compact and therefore leaves a lot of space in the pot. It also stores little water, so that the roots can dry out quickly. In this way, we try to imitate the conditions in nature as best as possible so that our orchids feel completely at home in our home.
care instructions
care instructions
Repotting an orchid is very easy, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
When repotting, always make sure to remove old substrate and dead roots. The plant should not be potted too deeply, otherwise the "heart" of the plant will be constantly exposed to moisture. If the plant is potted too high, it will wobble back and forth.
The substrate should be replaced every 2 years, as after this time the structure changes and salts can accumulate.
