Westland Peat-free Orchid Compost 4L

Product information

Orchids love being in a mix that lets water run past their roots instead of sitting in a waterlogged pot. This dry, free draining, peat free mix prevents overwatering and deters flies for healthier, happier plants. Added Zinc complex promotes more root growth, faster re-potting establishment and boosts the plant resilience. The mix is rich in pine bark to create the perfect balance of aeration and drainage for healthy root development.

• Re-potting of orchids
• Composition - Peat free compost mix
• Before use rework the potting mix between hands to reconstitute. Choose a suitable pot and fill one third of the pot with potting mix. Remove dead and shrivelled roots but leave potting mix attached to healthy, plump white roots. Place the orchid into the new pot and carefully spread out the roots. Gently hold the plant by its stem and fill around the roots. Tap the pot to settle the potting mix, do not firm down. Orchids may need anchoring in the pot with a stick or with wire. Re-pot just after flowering or during the period when new growth and roots appear.
