It's a good value for two bags of quality orchid potting chips. I have used it before and found that my orchids thrived.

I could say so far so good. I repotted this and it’s new pot and used this new medium and the first time it’s doing great and actually has one stem with buds on it ready to bloom in February of all months i’m trying to help it along cause it’s just starting to bud and I also do rice water and put a little bit of that in to help in to hold the moisture and it’s working

I use this exclusively with my orchids. Growing orchids in this is a no-brainer. It makes their care very easy. I water about once a week but I’d rather water more than have root-rot. This is a high quality mix but you can also add indoor potting soil to it easily for other plants, like I do with my Monsteras. This is really great for any plant needing more root aeration.

While this orchid soil has a decent mix of materials for orchids, it has pretty large chunks. It doesn't seem to be made for plants that are medium size or less. The little amount of soil that can fit in a 5 inch liner is concerning. While using this soil, I noticed my plant's roots and this new soil were having a difficult time fitting into their larger 5 inch container. This soil's wood and charcoal needs to be smaller in the size. It stressed out my 2 orchids over a period of 3.5 weeks. All my orchids (roots and leaves) were in top shape before using this orchid soil. Now both have a lot of brown/black roots. See before and after photos. One is seemingly coming back, but the other isn't doing as good. The only one that seems to be okay after using this soil is the one in which I didn't remove the old soil from it's larger container. I just added this new soil to the wood planter. I think it could be a decent orchid soil if the chunks weren't so darn large. Bigger orchids may not experience any issues, but medium size or smaller orchids may be in for a rough adjustment. Time will tell if all will get back to the way they were before adding this soil.

I had 2 older orchids that had bloomed off and on for several years. A couple of years ago, I bought an expensive brand of orchid soil and repotted both plants. Neither plant has bloomed since then. Both plants seemed pretty droopy. One was worse than the other. I tried changing their spot by the window and added a little fertilizer. Nothing worked. The weaker plant was starting to look like it was dying so I ordered Better-Gro Special Orchid mix. I repotted both plants. Wow. Within a couple of days I could see the difference! The weaker plant produced 2 new leaves by the end of the week. It has definitely brought them both back to life! Great product!

The product was ordered 4 weeks ago. When it finally arrived, the bag was opened, and for plant food was dried out not suitable to use. As soon as I opened the box I took a picture. I didn’t open this bag at all. Waiting so long for delivery, and then not getting a SEALED AND FULL bag when it is expensive, I am totally disappointed.
