Need Orchid Mix Soil? Find the Perfect Blend Here!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I wanted to make a good soil mix for my orchids. You know, something that would make them super happy and grow well. So I did some digging around to figure out what these plants really like.

First, I gathered all the stuff I needed. I got some bark, because I heard orchids love that. I grabbed some charcoal too, which is supposed to be good for drainage and keeping things fresh. And then perlite, because it helps with airflow, and my orchids need to breathe, right?

I started by soaking the bark in water. I did this for like a couple of hours, just to make sure it was good and wet. While that was going on, I mixed the charcoal and perlite together in a big bucket. I didn’t really measure anything, just eyeballed it to make sure it looked about right.

Once the bark was ready, I drained it real good and then mixed it in with the charcoal and perlite. I made sure everything was evenly combined, so my orchids would get a little bit of everything with each scoop.

Mixing It All Up

I used my hands to really get in there and mix it all up. I wanted to make sure there were no big clumps or anything. It was kind of messy, but also kind of fun.

  • Soak the bark: I let it sit in water for a couple of hours.
  • Mix the charcoal and perlite: I just tossed them together in a bucket.
  • Combine everything: I mixed the soaked bark with the charcoal and perlite.
  • Mix well: I used my hands to make sure it was all evenly distributed.

After mixing, I had this nice, chunky mix that looked perfect for my orchids. It felt airy and light, which is exactly what I was going for. I then carefully repotted my orchids using this new mix, making sure not to pack it too tightly. I wanted their roots to have plenty of room to breathe and grow.

After repotting, I gave them a good watering and placed them back in their usual spot. I’m really hoping this new soil mix will make a big difference. It looks way better than what they had before, so fingers crossed they’ll love it! I’ll keep an eye on them and see how they do. Hopefully, I’ll see some new growth soon!
