SCHULTZ Orchid Mix Exotic Potting Medium, 8-Quart
Schultz Orchid Mix is an exotic potting medium that is excellent for orchids, bromeliads and other plants. It is made up of unique potting materials that work together to improve drainage, aeration, moisture and nutrient retention. Many orchids grow naturally on trees and logs, our orchid mix provides a similar foundation. Orchids typically need to be repotted once a year soon after flowering or new growth appears.  How to Apply 1. Presoak for 24-48 hours. Drain well. Shake to remove excess potting material. Remove dead roots and trim healthy roots to six Inch. 2. Use a clean pot that allows 1-2 Inch for new root growth. Partially fill pot. 3. Position monopodial (one-stem) plants in the center of the pot. Sympodial (multi-stemmed) orchids should rest against the pot wall to encourage growth toward the center. Stake if necessary to keep stems from sprawling. 4. Add mix around plant to cover roots and fill pot up to 1/4 inch from the rim. Water thoroughly to settle mixture. Add more mix as needed. ADDITIONAL FEEDING TIP: Feed all orchid varieties every time you water with Schultz Water Soluble Orchid Food. Use as directed. When to Apply Use Potting Mixture when potting and repotting Orchids and other epiphyte air plants. Where to Apply Soil Mixture should be used in pots or containers. Not for in-ground gardens.
