Tips for Using Coco Coir compost

Moisture Management

Water your orchids only when the compost feel dry. The mix retains enough moisture to support healthy root growth without waterlogging.

Aeration is Essential

Keep the mix loose to allow proper air circulation around the orchid roots. Orchids thrive in an
airy environment.

Fertilizing

Orchids in Coco coir compost may need additional nutrients. Feed them with a balanced orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season, diluted to half strength.

Potting and Repotting Tips

When to repot

Replace the coco coir compost every 1–2 years to maintain a fresh and nutrient-rich growing medium. It’s also a good idea to repot after flowering or when the roots outgrow the pot.

Choosing the Right Pot

Use a pot with ample drainage holes to prevent water pooling at the base. Clear pots are great for monitoring root health.

Repotting Steps

1. Gently remove the orchid from its current pot, shaking off old compost.
2. Trim any dead or rotting roots with sterilized scissors.
3. Place the orchid in fresh Coco coir compost, ensuring the roots are snug but not tightly packed.
4. Water lightly to settle the mix, but avoid overwatering immediately after repotting.
