Details

Cymbidium Orchid Media is a specially designed potting mix that provides the right balance of moisture retention, aeration, and drainage.

The combination of Natural Coco Chunks, Coco Fiber, and Coarse Perlite and other components helps mimic their natural growing conditions while supporting healthy root development. By using the right media, you can create an environment that encourages your Cymbidium orchids to thrive and produce beautiful blooms.

Key Components of Cymbidium Orchid Media

Coco Chunks and Fiber: The combination of coco chunks and fiber creates a mix that drains well while still retaining moisture. This is especially important for orchids and other epiphytic plants that need their roots to dry out slightly between waterings.
Perlite: Perlite is often added to improve drainage and aeration. It is lightweight and help prevent the mix from becoming too compacted or waterlogged.
Some other types may be added: Sphagnum Moss, Charcoal, Lava Rock (A small amount of sphagnum, Charcoal, Lava Rock to increase moisture retention, absorb impurities.)

Characteristics of Cymbidium Orchid Media

Moisture Retention	Cymbidium orchids prefer a medium that retains moisture but is still well-draining. Components like Coco Chunks, Coco Fiber, and Coarse Perlite ensure that the roots stay hydrated without being waterlogged.
Aeration	Like other orchids, Cymbidiums need their roots to have access to air. Perlite, or pumice creates air pockets that allow the roots to breathe, preventing root rot.
Drainage	Good drainage is essential to prevent water from sitting in the pot and causing root rot. The potting mix should allow water to flow through freely while retaining some moisture for the roots to absorb.
Nutrient Retention	Cymbidium orchids are heavy feeders compared to other orchids, so the medium needs to hold onto nutrients well. Components like peat moss or coco coir help with nutrient retention.

How to Use Cymbidium Orchid Media

Repotting	Cymbidiums should be repotted every 2-3 years in fresh medium. Over time, the media breaks down and becomes compacted, which reduces drainage and aeration. Repotting ensures the roots stay healthy.
Choosing the Right Pot	Use a pot with good drainage holes. Cymbidiums have large root systems, so it’s important to choose a pot that accommodates their size and allows for proper drainage.

Watering	Water thoroughly but allow the mix to dry slightly between waterings. Cymbidiums like to stay moist, but not soggy. In warmer weather, you may need to water more frequently, while in cooler months, reduce watering.
Fertilizing	Cymbidiums are heavy feeders, so regular fertilization is important. A balanced orchid fertilizer can be applied during the growing season, typically every two weeks. The potting mix should be able to retain some of the nutrients without washing them away too quickly.
