What are orchids planted in? A variety of media or orchid mix can be used, like fir bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, charcoal, lava rock, osmunda fiber, coconut fiber, redwood bark, and Styrofoam peanuts. To prepare your own potting mix or choose the right store-bought one is to try to imitate the exact conditions that the orchid grows in nature.

Dana Carpenter | Houseplant care on Instagram: "Let’s make a fresh batch of my diy soil mix!

Your houseplants will thank you!!! This chunky mix is so easy to make and works for almost every one of my plants. (Succulents and cacti are the exception!)

👉Why not just use bagged potting mix? 

Adding perlite and orchid bark add more texture and prevent the soil from becoming compacted. Water is able to freely penetrate the soil to get to the plant’s roots and then drain excess out the bottom of the pot. This well draining soil helps you avoid your plants roots sitting in water that eventually leads to root rot. 

Recipe is:
-2/3 organic potting mix
-1/3 perlite 
-1/3 orchid bark

But you could also do equal amounts of these 3 ingredients! Usually just depends on what I have on-hand!
