Growing Mix

In their natural habitat, orchids grow from tree bark or other natural surfaces. In your home — depending on the type of orchid — they’ll thrive in fir bark, sphagnum moss, rock wool, perlite, cork nuggets, stones, coconut fiber (coir), lava rock or other mediums that provides drainage, circulation and something for their roots to attach to. We offer a variety of growing mediums from the list above — including our own organic, hand-blended Orchid Mix — so you can choose one best suited to your plants.
