About the Anthurium & Orchid Soil Mix:
This mix has been specially developed to cater to the large epiphytic roots of Anthurium and Orchids. Huge portions of bark makes up a large percent of the mixture which creates massive air chambers for roots to crawl through, as well as attaching and breaking down the bark itself. Low percentages of humus-like components (Coco Coir for example) means this mix will always stay loose and light even when occasionally overwatered. This mix is certainly not just for Anthurium and Orchids, in fact Bromeliad or even a large epiphytic Hoya is suited fantastically to this mix also!
What Anthurium and Orchid want from their soil:
The most important factor for these plants is air. Many species of Anthurium and Orchids are found rooted into trees in the wild, so their roots are used to lots of air and not a lot of actual soil like material. However, we have added just enough of humus -like material to also cater for the Anthurium that are known to grow on land.
As with all of our Premium mixes a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna is present in the substrate to create the potted ecosystem which keeps your plant healthy! Enough nutrients for the first 2 months of growth is also in every bag along with our specialist nutrient storage component, Zeolite.
