Introduced from New Zealand over 15 years ago, Orchiata orchid bark has earned the trust of discerning orchid hobbyists and commercial growers in the US. Its most significant advantage over regular orchid bark is its remarkable durability, lasting much longer. While regular orchid bark necessitates repotting every year, Orchiata bark only requires repotting every 4-5 years, and even longer when used with wood baskets. It can be used as a standalone potting medium or blended with other growing media for an even better orchid mix. During the initial months of use, Orchiata remains relatively dry, but it gradually retains water exceptionally well, creating a humid and stable environment that promotes optimal orchid root growth.
Introducing Spagmoss Classic by Besgrow – the pinnacle of quality in the market. This Classic sphagnum, boasts a commercial-grade standard with a length of 300mm+ —perfect for easy root wrapping. Its delightful mix of light browns, creams, and light green colors, complemented by green tips, exudes natural beauty.
After meticulous harvesting, Spagmoss undergoes a thorough cleaning and drying process, leaving it immaculately contamination-free. With its exceptional water-absorbing properties, this sphagnum moss proves ideal for seedlings, ensuring stable growing conditions. Additionally, it stimulates new root growth when repotting orchids, adding a vital boost to their health.
Spagmoss Classic can be used independently as an orchid medium or as an enriching addition to orchid mix, enhancing water retention. During repotting, a thin layer of moss placed atop wood baskets or plastic pots creates a more uniform humidity distribution, contributing to optimal orchid care.
With proper care and growing conditions, this premium moss can last up to an impressive 4-5 years, making it an enduring investment in your orchid cultivation journey. Elevate your orchid care with Spagmoss Classic – the epitome of quality and excellence.
Horticultural charcoal is proven to be a very effective additive to orchid mixes. It helps absorb impurities in water and fertilizers. It does not break down over time. In high humidity areas such as Florida and Hawaii, charcoal can be even used as a stand-alone orchid growing medium. Our premium charcoal is produced specifically for orchids. It is made of hardwood without any chemical and additive. When repoting our orchids we usually add a thin layer of coarse horticulture charcoal at the bottom of the pot/basket. It is to prevent root rot as charcoal absorb very little water.
Like horticulture charcoal, perlite and clay pebbles do not break down over time. Thanks to their excellent air holding capacity, they are usually added to orchid mixes to in a small amount to improve drainage and prevent root rot. They should not be used as a stand-alone orchid media as they are very lightweight, and thus do not provide a firm/stable substrate for orchid roots to establish. We carry coarse perlite (#4) by Mother Earth and the original expanded clay pebbles from Hydroton, which are the best perlite and clay pebbles available for orchid growers.

If you do not want to order the potting media and blend them yourself, let us do it for you. Our premium orchid mixes are hand blended using the above top-quality ingredients. We come up with the mixing ratio based on literature research (including AOS magazine, orchid forums, and local orchid societies) and our own orchid growing experience. The orchid mixes range from a very fine one (the most water retentive) to a very coarse one (the least water retentive). This makes our orchid mixes suitable for most (if not all) of orchids available today including Phalaenopsis, Cattleya, Oncidium, Dendrobium, Cymbidium, and Vanda.
