Orchid Care

We have an extensive range of Orchid Care Supplies. Below is a brief overview of the range.

Potting Media: We stock all the major brands of orchid potting media, with a focus on those preferred by professional growers, orchid society members and enthusiasts. At the top of the list are Ausgro (Bio Gro), Besgrow, Tropicoir and Orchid Care Services. Other notable brands include Ausperl, Chillagoe, Plantcare and Debco.

Orchid Bark: Can be used as a stand-alone medium or mixed with other mediums to create a well-draining, moisture-retentive, and aerated potting blend tailored to specific orchid types (e.g., epiphytic vs terrestrial). Popular additives to mix with bark include perlite, horticultural charcoal, UXP, sphagnum moss, coconut husk (also known as coir or chips), pumice, scoria, and zeolite. Our two most popular and highly recommended bark brands are Ausgro Orchid Nuggets and Besgrow Orchiata Bark.

Coir Chips: Are a popular orchid-growing medium and are a great sustainable alternative to bark, or can be mixed with bark. Our Orchid Coir Chip Blocks are conveniently compact and expand to a massive 50-60 litres once mixed with water. They are graded into coarser chips to maintain and reduce the amount of fines, providing the aeration and airflow that orchids need, helping to prevent root rot.

Orchid Potting Mix: Includes mediums that are already premixed with bark, other mediums, and fertiliser. These are great options for those seeking a straightforward solution without needing to purchase multiple ingredients. We highly recommend Cymbidium Orchid Compost. It is a traditional favourite that we have been selling for over 20 years, featuring a mix of pine bark, gravel, organic fertiliser, and natural pH-balancing additives.

Orchid Fertiliser: Stand-out products in this collection include Campbell Orchid Fertiliser, Feathers and Fins Organic Fertiliser, and Neutrog Strike Back for Orchids, which is available by the kg and offers exceptional value relative to the buckets.
