RePotme Jewel Orchid Classic Mix is an orchid mix that is ideal for a range of terrestrial orchids such as Ludisia (Jewel Orchid), Phaius (Nun Orchid), Spathoglottis, Reed Stem Epidendrum, Epiphyllum ('Cactus' Orchid), Caladenia, Arudina (Bamboo Orchid) and the Vanilla Orchid. The variety of ingredients in this mix are intended to reduce compacting of the medium while providing the moist growing environment that terrestrial orchids require. This mix is distinguished by what it doesn't have in it, peat moss. We make this mix with Coir which is ground coconut husk and the absence of peat is key to getting rid of fungus gnats. Fungus gnats are attracted to peat moss, and almost all commercially available plant mixes are made with peat moss. This coir based mix has no peat and the coir we use is a bit more costly, but it is also more durable, resistant to fungus (and the gnats), and is a wonderful free draining mix for prized houseplants and tropicals. We use old fashioned hand blending to create all of our mixes which treats the medium gently and protects the unique qualities and characteristics of each ingredient. Our mixes are hand mixed and packaged just hours or days before you order them which ensures you get fresh mix for your plants. Once you see for yourself the difference a fresh mix from the highest quality ingredients makes compared to store brands you won't ever want to go back to those inferior mixes again.
