Orchid Substrate with Nutrients 3l Biovita Orchid Substrate 3l is a professionally composed substrate with the highest quality ingredients. It has a light and airy structure, enabling optimal plant growth. The use of bark, coconut chips, and perlite ensures adequate air circulation and maintains proper substrate moisture. High-moor peat enriched with a starting dose of fertilizer provides the appropriate nutrients, so orchids do not require fertilization for 3-4 weeks after repotting. Parameters: capacity 3l pH 5.5-6.5 enriched with fertilizer ensures air flow optimizes water level safe for plants Ideal for species: Phalenopsis Dendrobium Cymbidium Cattleya Paphiopedium How to repot orchids? before planting soak the plant in water , this will make the roots more flexible carefully cut open the old pot with scissors remove the old substrate and wash the freed roots in water cut off dead and damaged roots into a new pot pour drainage into the bottom , e.g. expanded clay (available in our offer) place the orchid in a new pot, don't forget the support cover the plant's roots with Biovita substrate, remembering to leave the aerial roots outside. Product advantages: Good drainage: Orchids do not like standing water in the substrate. The soil should be well-draining to avoid excess moisture, which can lead to root rot. Light and loose structure: Orchids have aerial roots that require access to oxygen. This substrate is light and loose, allowing the roots to breathe freely. Nutrient-rich: Orchid soil provides essential nutrients. It is worth using special substrates designed for growing orchids, which are adapted to their nutritional needs. Low salt level: Orchids are sensitive to excess salt in the substrate. The soil is low in salt, which can be achieved by using appropriate substrates and avoiding over-fertilization. Quick-Drying: The quick-drying property of the soil is important because it helps avoid excess moisture, which can lead to orchid root diseases. No Chemical Additives Suitable pH: Orchids prefer a slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil pH. The optimal pH for most orchids is in the range of 5.5-6.5.
