HOW TO USE

Debco Premium Orchid Mix is ready to use straight from the bag with no further additives required

  • Select a new pot that will comfortably accommodate the plant for the next 2 years
  • Place the plant into the pot ensuring the bulb is level with the top of the pot
  • Fill new mixture around the root system whilst holding the plant, and by gently tapping the top work the mix in and around the entire root system
  • Fill the pot to the top rim of the pot with the mix
  • Lightly water and place in a well-ventilated location

 

ONGOING PLANT CARE

  • A quality 6 month balanced fertiliser was added at manufacture but additional fertiliser may be required in time, depending on plant needs.
  • Feeding is critical to flowering because without sufficient food, the plant’s bulbs will not grow large enough to flower in the following year.
  • The easiest way to feed your Orchids is by topping up with controlled-release fertiliser when required. For even better results, you can supplement with a soluble fertiliser during the warmer months.
  • Plants should be divided and re-potted with new potting mix when they outgrow the pot or after 24 months.

 

SAFETY TIPS

  • We recommend you always wear gloves when gardening. Wear a particulate mask if dusty.
