€8.95
Ideal Potting Mix for Healthy, Thriving Orchids
Westland Orchid Potting Mix is specially formulated to create the perfect environment for your orchids. This peat-free, dry, free-draining mix contains Seramis® granules that absorb and release water and nutrients exactly when the plants need them. Rich in pine bark, it provides the ideal balance of aeration and drainage, essential for healthy root development. The mix also includes a zinc complex, which promotes vigorous root growth, quick re-potting establishment, and improved plant resilience.
Why Choose Westland Orchid Potting Mix?
Perfect for a wide variety of orchids, including Cymbidium, Dendrobium, Miltonia, and Vanda types, this mix ensures your plants are well-nourished. The unique combination of Seramis® granules helps in moisture retention and nutrient release, preventing overwatering and encouraging optimal hydration. The pine bark further supports healthy roots by ensuring proper airflow and drainage, which orchids need to flourish.
How to Use Westland Orchid Potting Mix
When repotting your orchid, select a pot that is just slightly larger than the root system. Begin by filling one-third of the pot with potting mix. Carefully remove any dead or shriveled roots while leaving healthy, white roots attached to the old mix. Position your orchid in the new pot and gently spread the roots out. Fill the remaining space around the roots with the potting mix, tapping the pot lightly to settle the mix. Avoid compacting the mix too much. You may need to anchor the plant in place with a stick or wire if it seems unstable. Repotting is best done just after the orchid finishes flowering or when new growth and roots begin to appear.
Tips for Keeping Orchids Looking Their Best
For healthy growth, feed your orchids with Westland Orchid Feed every second watering during the growing season (spring/summer), and every fourth watering in the winter. Orchids prefer high humidity, so applying Westland Orchid Mist spray 1-2 times a week to the aerial roots and foliage will replicate their natural humid environment. Place your orchids in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that can damage their leaves. Different orchid species require varying temperature conditions, so ensure the room is suitable for the type of orchid you are growing. In winter, reduce watering and feeding to allow your orchid to rest.
