Orchid Chunky Mix

DESCRIPTION

Orchid Chunky Mix is designed to be extra light and avoid compaction to provide maximum oxygen to the root system, a must for these unique plants.

WHAT’S IN IT

• Organic: coconut husk chips, recycled forest products
• Inorganic: chunky perlite

WHAT PLANTS LOVE IT?

Well-suited for a wide range of orchid species. This includes Phalaenopsis (most commonly found in any store), Cymbidiums, Dendrobiums, Catacetum, Oncidiums, Paphiopedilums (Lady Slipper), Masdevallia, Cycnoches, Epidendrum, etc. **Some Jewel Orchids or really young orchids would be better suited for the Houseplant Chunky Mix as the root systems are just so much more fine than a traditonal orchid species.

FUN FACT

As orchids typically are not found in the ground, they obtain water and nutrients from the air, rain, and debris that collects in the crevices in which they grow.

Note: Please, please, please don’t follow the ice cubes watering strategy. 😅 Water them deeply every week or so depending on your situation, and it’ll keep the mix generally humid for the roots to be happy long term.

We STRONGLY encourage you to do an unboxing video whenever you order plants, just in case.

Things to consider when purchasing plants online:

1. Weather Fluctuations: In times of cold weather, we offer heat packs and insulation as an add-on. In the summer, we do offer insulation and cold packs, but cold packs do not stay cold very long at all.

2. Carrier issues: Some carriers perform better in certain areas of the country better than others. If you have a preferred carrier, please note that in your order or send us an email. Consider upgrading your shipping to 2 or 3 days. All items ship from NH.

3. Possible damage due to stress: The fact is that plants are living things, and they get stressed out when placed in a box without sunlight for several days. You can expect that a plant may arrive with some yellowing and a loss of a leaf or two, but overall, it is in good health. Do not worry, this is normal!
