Featuring a base of fir bark and sponge rock, along with proprietary additives developed by Waldor Orchids, it’s designed to support robust root growth and long-lasting flowering.

💡 Tips for Best Results

Re-pot orchids every 12–18 months or when potting mix starts to break down. Always re-pot after blooming to reduce stress on the plant.
