Default

I'm still new to orchids but when I was even newer I bought some Miracle Grow orchid mix as it was the only thing I could find in the shops. (I only have phals if that matters?) It looked okay (to me!) at first, but it broke down so quickly that after 3 months the bottom half looked like soil so I took a deep breath and ordered some Orchiata online. Completely different - excellent quality, drains well and the orchids love it. The other issue I had with the Miracle Grow was that it appeared to attract fungus gnats. I thought it was from another house plant but when I opened the bag to chuck it on the compost heap a cloud of them flew out, so they were in the bag already. (Apologies to the innocent plant that got the blame...) I looked at the other bags the next time I went to the shop and they were all covered in them. I'm now on my 3rd bag of Orchiata and I love it. I have a different mix for the minis that is finer and I've also put the Sweet Memory Liodoro in that as it had some issues but everything else is in the Orchiata and I have roots and leaves everywhere. No Miracle Grow ever again!
