Our Bark and Coconut base mixes are designed specifically for the various orchid varieties listed below. Please specify "Bark" or "Coconut" when ordering. Bark is considered the tried and true potting material, but future availability is questionable. Coconut is relatively new, lasts 50% longer and the supply is easily replaced. Coconut Husk chips last longer and are lighter in weight, thus cheaper to ship. General purpose mix mixes are recommended for those with only a few orchids. The Pot Size Calculator below is submitted onle as a guideline as variables on the number or roots or pot size differences vary.
