Orchid potting medium Pine and Chestnut King bark pellets, specially blended universal mix for Spring Orchid, Huilan, Jianlan and Molan

Many orchid growers have gone up the mountains to dig or collect orchids, and you will find that lush orchids grow in mountain forests where pine and chestnut trees grow together, in a thick, loose, fertile substrate.

So what is this layer of substrate?

This layer of substrate is formed from pine bark, pine needles, chestnut bark and chestnut leaves that fall and pile up, then rot and ferment. This layer of substrate is loose and fertile, rich in organic matter, with good air permeability and drainage, suitable for the growth of orchid mycorrhizal fungi, and is the growing substrate that orchids choose for themselves in nature.

Most orchid potting media on the market do not contain chestnut bark. To save time, they are either not fermented or are high-temperature carbonized (the bark is carbonized through heat radiation; the carbonization process removes organic matter and no fermentation has taken place, so what you buy back is carbon, not organic orchid potting medium - you can search Baidu for details). The powder is not sifted out and is sold to you together with the powder. Some are also mixed with cheap white perlite as a filler to increase volume; this has poor air permeability, decays quickly, has a short service life, is not clean, and easily breeds pathogens. Orchids grown in this kind of potting medium easily suffer root rot, blackened leaves, yellowing leaves or death. You should learn to identify it and use it with caution!
