HOW TO USE
Debco Orchid Coarse 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 the new mixture around the root system while holding the plant, and gently tap the top to work the mix in and around the entire root system.
- Fill the pot to the top rim with the mix.
- Lightly water the tray and place it in a warm, sunny location.
ONGOING PLANT CARE
- A balanced fertiliser was added at manufacture; however, additional fertiliser may be required over time, depending on the plant's 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.
