Phalaenopsis Imperial Orchid Mix - AAA Gold (Junior Bag)

Great potting soil! I repotted my orchid and it’s been doing so great! A little pricy but definitely worth it.

Love this company and their products. I use their potting mixes exclusively now. My orchids are thriving now.

Purchased both the Phalaenopsis AAA Gold Imperial Orchid Mix (MINI Bag) & Phalaenopsis Monterey Dark Imperial Orchid Potting Mix - (MINI Bag) by rePotme to upgrade my orchid to a larger pot with additional/ new potting materials but wasn't sure which would be best. The Dark Imperial had very little moss while the Gold Imperial was 65% moss. The pictures show the amount of potting materials I had left in each MINI Bag after repotting my orchid. You definitely get a lot of potting material per bag as I have enough left over for at least another orchid in a similar pot size or more. After watering my orchid with the new potting materials, I was able to confirm that the mixed material naturally created a lot of air/ space which ensures a functional mix of water retention within the moss and other material while allowing for quick and thorough drainage. Functional, aesthetic, and overall great product.

I had an aging orchid and a brand new orchid. Both had been over watered and neither were healthy. After watching a video on orchid care on line I bought this product and replanted both of my orchids. Wow! What a difference. Both plants are healing and the new plant is flowering again. I recommend this product to all my friends and family.

I bought this mostly because a popular orchid YouTuber recommended the company’s products and it sounded like the gold standard. It’s not some generic mix from a big box store. The packaging and ingredient list are impressive.In practice though, it’s a bit much. The blend includes moss, bark, Hydroton, sponge rock, and cork chips, and there’s no easy way to get a balanced scoop without separating things by hand. Otherwise you end up with all moss or all bark in one go. I also found more fine debris in the bag than expected.It’s not a bad mix, just more complex than necessary for my needs. These days I’ve simplified things: good moss, good bark.

My orchids thrive very well when I repot them in this mix.

My phalenopsis orchid came in a mix with long fibered sphagnum moss and I'm an underwaterer so it was important to me to get a mix including that. I'd estimate this is about half long fiber sphagnum. The rest is bark, charcole, the biggest chunks of perlite I ever saw (but not so large as to be akward) and brown round things I think are like the balls used in hydroponics. The mix fluffed up beautifully when I took it out of the bag and moistened it, there was enough to fill two 6" pots. It drains beautifuly and retains moisture well. I haven't bought orchid media in a long time so I had a bit of sticker shock when I ordered it but I got my money's worth. This will keep my orchid stable, well drained, and properly watered and I don't expect it to break down any time soon!

I was disappointed this is 90% moss. I am going to have to buy bark to supplement the lack of bark in this mix. For the price this mixture should have been a perfect ratio
