Waldor Orchids Cymbidium Orchid Potting Mix

While specifically formulated for Cymbidiums, this mix is excellent for many sympodial, cooler-growing orchids that require similar drainage and airflow. If you are growing epiphytes that prefer finer, moisture-retentive media, this may be too coarse.

This mix offers high drainage thanks to the inclusion of sponge rock alongside the fir bark. It is designed to prevent the root rot often caused by denser, peat-based soils, making it a safer choice for orchids that dislike 'wet feet.'

No, it is ready to use straight out of the bag. The blend of medium and fine-grade fir bark with sponge rock is already balanced to provide the necessary structure and aeration for healthy root development.

The fir bark used in this professional-grade formula is durable and resists rapid decomposition. However, like all organic potting media, it will eventually break down, so you should plan to repot your Cymbidiums every two to three years to maintain optimal root health.

Two cubic feet is a substantial volume, typically enough to repot several large Cymbidium specimens or a significant number of smaller pots. It is specifically sized for growers managing larger collections or greenhouse setups.
