RePotme Cattleya Multi Purpose Classic Orchid Mix is an excellent choice for a wide variety of orchids such as Cattleya, Laelia, Stanhopea, and any thick rooted orchid. If we could have only one type of orchid mix for our orchid collection, this would be it. This blend is designed to promote healthy strong roots with great drainage and a chunky open structure. Also available: Chunky Catt Classic Orchid Mix

Because this is such a versatile choice for a small collection and a foundation mix for a larger one, it would be wise to always keep some of this Classic Orchid Mix on hand.

Our coconut chips come to us prewashed twice. We then take the chips and soak them, filter, wash and clean them as many times as is necessary to be sure the finished product is in the best possible condition for our use and for yours. We use the same products we provide our customers on our own orchids, and quality is our number one objective.
