How to Use

1. Choose Container: Select a container slightly larger than the old one. Ensure it has drainage holes and a bottom saucer. Cover large drainage holes with a screen for mix retention.
2. Transfer: Carefully remove the orchid from its old container, keeping the root ball intact. If pot-bound, gently loosen the roots for better soil contact.
3. Planting: Add a layer of mix at the bottom of the new container, leaving space for the orchid. Center the plant and cover the roots completely, leaving a 1-inch space at the top for watering. Press the mix down gently and remove any excess from the leaves.
4. Watering & Feeding: Water until the saucer fills. Monitor soil moisture and water when the mix feels dry to a 1-2 inch depth. Feed regularly with orchid-specific fertilizer following manufacturer recommendations.
5. Growing Environment: Understand the light, temperature, moisture, and humidity needs of your orchids. Create the best growing environment to support their health and blooming.
