Overwhelmed with Potting Media Options
Default
Lol. I know how that is. Have to stay away from nurseries

What I have done is get a lot of lava rock, carcoal, fir bark and hydroton. I have them all in different large buckets. I take scoops of each for a mix depending on the orchid. Some get more bark, others more rock.

If the time allows...I’ll put some of the mix into the new container I’ll be using for the replant and see how long it stays damp or how quickly it dries out completely.

Know what the plants want and then figure it from that.
