How to Use
For Repotting Orchids: Carefully remove your orchid from its existing container and gently clear away old potting material. Trim dead or damaged roots using clean tools. Position your orchid in a suitable container and gently fill around the roots with ORCHIDPON, keeping the crown above the substrate surface.
Watering & Fertilizing: Water according to your orchid's needs, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid keeping the roots constantly saturated. ORCHIDPON contains nutrients for approximately 6 months; begin an appropriate orchid fertilization routine once the initial nutrients are depleted.
