From the time the first flower bud opens, the floral spray on a Phalaenopsis will remain in bloom for 2 to 3 months.

It is specifically blended to retain the proper mixture of fertilizer and moisture needed to stimulate superior Phalaenopsis plant and root growth. Better-Gro Phalaenopsis Mix is a wonderfully rich mixture of Canadian chunk peat blended with western fir bark, hardwood charcoal and coarse perlite. This professionally formulated potting media nurtures spectacular, colorful and long-lasting Phalaenopsis orchids. This product weight 8 quarts.

My orchids love this mixture. The one in the clear pot is a year and a half old. It grew a 2nd spike and bloomed for me this winter, the one in the purple container is new. It's being babies because stores don't take care of their roots. This orchid mix holds just enough moisture and gives the roots air. The roots get moisture from the air so I soak my plants while in this mix for 15 minutes. Then I let it drain. Then I put it back in its pot. I have bought this soil twice and I'll do it again for my next orchid.

I am not an expert with orchids by any means. I’m still learning. But so far this potting mix seems to be high quality with lots of charcoal and perlite mixed with high quality bark. It looks nice and so far my orchids are much happier being repotted into this from the heavy moisture mix they sell them in (I get mine at Trader Joe’s. Like I said I’m a newb)

I had bought a dracaena that had very wet water retaining soil (big box stores) so I wanted to get something to mix with some soil in order to get better drainage. This was very great as part of the mix! After watering my dracaena, the water drained quick (but not too quick). My dracaena has already improved! I will say, the pieces of bark are a little big but that worked out perfectly in my case!

I was so inexperienced with orchids but had one for 3 years and it had seriously outgrown its pot. I followed the directions and so far it’s doing great!! Remember when you replant though, don’t bury the top “air roots”! If they are out of the ground before, leave them out!!! Only put “soil” up to the previous level it was before on the plant itself.
