Orchid Mix by rePotme - Value Starter Bag

Product Description: Our signature orchid mixes and potting mixes are all hand-blended daily in small batches from top-quality ingredients. One mix doesn't have to fit all, and our experience has taught us that orchids and other fine plants are each as unique as the environment they are growing in. Our mission is to provide you with the highest-quality orchid mixes for your environment and growing conditions.

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, ensuring 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.

All of our potting mixes are available in convenient resealable bags. For customers needing larger quantities, we offer CUBES which hold multiple bags worth of Orchid Mix.

Three Keys to Growing Orchids Successfully:

1. Select a high-quality, free-draining mix: Selecting a mix that is high-quality and drains freely is key to growing orchids successfully. Mixes made with low-quality ingredients can break down quickly, eventually leading to root rot. Some may even come with harmful bugs in the mix. Selecting a good-quality mix provides a solid foundation for a good growing environment.

2. Choose a pot with great drainage: Choose a pot that allows light to the root zone but also drains well. One of the most common reasons orchids die is due to over-watering. Sometimes, over-watering isn't the grower's fault but actually the pots. If a pot doesn't drain well, water will collect at the roots and eventually turn them brown and mushy. Those brown and mushy roots are called root rot and spell disaster for your orchid if conditions don't change. Check out our slotted orchid pots for an example of an ideal orchid pot.

3. Fertilize your orchid with a fertilizer designed for orchids: Think of fertilizer as food. It's impossible for an orchid to perform its best without being fed. By selecting a fertilizer designed for orchids (weak and urea-free), you can keep your orchid happy for years to come. Our FEED ME! MSU is the gold standard for orchid fertilizers, so if you're in need of fertilizer, check it out!

Why our mixes are different: Our focus has always been offering the highest possible quality to our wonderful customers. When you buy a rePotme mix, you know that you are getting something hand-crafted, using the finest ingredients from all over the world. Have you seen our Slotted Orchid Pots? No matter how great your mix is, it won't matter if your pot has poor drainage. You may know that we designed and created a 6" diameter slot pot and introduced it several months ago. That 6" pot was so well received by our fine customers that we have now created a family of 48 of them, including the 3", 4", and 5" to join that 6" diameter one. These pots are each terrific for Orchids, African Violets, and all plants that need great drainage and airflow to their root systems. Innovation and beauty are in each and every pot!

Did you remember to feed your orchid? Our FEED ME! MSU fertilizer is the gold standard when it comes to orchid fertilizer. In fact, it is the gold standard for most houseplants because it is gentle and urea-free. We are proud to offer our customers the authentic famous fertilizer formulations studied at Michigan State University (MSU). Remember, fertilizing your orchid is an essential piece of orchid care. Each FEED ME! fertilizer comes with an instruction sheet and couldn't be easier to use!
