2 litre Orchid bark compost, a superior blend of bark and processed granules of volcanic rock,
Maintains a high water to air ratio essential for healthy orchid growth.
Orchids will not grow in ordinary compost, they will get water logged and the roots will die.This blend is the correct consistency to support the roots and allow air and water to pass through the mixture to the roots, and in the correct pot will drain well, essential for orchid care.
