Molly's Orchid Mix - 5 Dry Quarts

Orchid hobbyists are loyal customers: once they find a mix that works, they buy it for life. The pain point: most bagged "orchid mixes" are too fine, breaking down within a year, suffocating the epiphytic roots that need air to thrive.

Molly's Orchid Mix is bark-forward and chunky, replicating what orchids actually grow on in nature. It holds shape through repotting cycles and supports the kind of root health that gets customers returning blooms. Orchid society members are already searching for this mix — your store is where they'll find it.

A premium blend of mineral and organic ingredients:

• Orchid bark (fir)
• Coco chips
• Akadama (volcanic clay, imported from Japan)
• Hyuga (volcanic pumice, imported from Japan)
• Lava rock
• Pumice
• Mycorrhizae
• Bacillus pumilus (beneficial Rhizobacteria)

Replete with beneficial minerals, nutrients, and trace elements, including calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, and more. Soil-free.

Common customer questions

Will this work for my orchid?
Yes, ideal for most orchids, especially Phalaenopsis and other epiphytic types.

Why is it so chunky?
Orchid roots need air. This structure prevents rot and keeps them healthy.

How often should I repot?
About once a year to refresh the mix as the bark naturally breaks down.

Honest fit notes

Designed for epiphytic orchids that need air around the roots, not terrestrial orchids planted in regular soil. Not OMRI-listed organic; the bark naturally breaks down over time, which is why annual repotting is recommended.
