B&Q

Westland Orchid Potting Mix is a specialist, peat-free growing medium designed to replicate the natural growing environment of epiphytic orchids. Formulated with specific, large-structure pine bark fractions, this open-structured compost provides free drainage and essential airflow around aerial roots. This structural stability prevents root suffocation and waterlogging, supporting healthy plant development and repeat flowering for Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium, and Dendrobium species.HOW TO USESelect a clear orchid pot with drainage holes that is slightly larger than the current root system.Carefully remove the orchid from its existing pot, prune away any dead or damaged roots, and position the plant in the center of the new container.Fill the spaces around the root system with the bark mix, tapping the container gently to allow the medium to settle evenly without compaction.TIPS & ADVICERepot orchids immediately after a flowering cycle has completed or during active spring growth to encourage rapid root establishment.Orchids thrive on a distinct wet-and-dry cycle; allow the pine bark medium to dry out significantly before re-watering or misting.EXPECTED RESULTSPrevents waterlogging and associated root rot by allowing moisture to drain away instantly from root networks.Maintains a highly aerated, stable rooting environment that stimulates frequent, vibrant flower spikes.USEFUL INFORMATIONConsists of premium, graded pine bark chunks that resist structural breakdown, maintaining an open environment inside the container.Provided in a 4L bag, offering an ideal volume for small-scale household repotting and individual indoor plant maintenance.
