Miracle-Gro Orchid Potting Mix Coarse Blend – 3-Pack, 8 Qt Each, Feeds Up to 6 Months

Overview

Miracle-Gro Orchid Potting Mix Coarse Blend is crafted for epiphytic orchids, including Phalaenopsis (moth orchids), Cattleya, Epidendrum, and Dendrobium. The fast-draining medium supports robust air flow around roots and encourages a drier resting phase between waterings. With up to six months of feeding, this mix helps nourish vibrant growth while letting you manage watering more confidently. The coarse texture helps maintain structure in containers, so roots can explore pockets of air as they grow.

Why this mix works for epiphyte orchids

• Specially formulated for epiphyte orchids to promote good air movement and drainage
• Fast-draining texture helps prevent waterlogged roots and supports drier conditions between waterings
• Feeds orchids for up to six months, reducing the frequency of fertilization
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor container growing, with a drain-hole container recommended

What you get in this 3-pack bundle

• Three 8-quart bags of Miracle-Gro Orchid Potting Mix Coarse Blend
• Each bag is designed to fill two 8-inch containers (exact amounts vary with root ball size)

How to use

1. Choose a pot with a drain hole.
2. Fill the pot about 1/3 full with the mix.
3. Loosen the orchid’s root ball before placing it in the pot.
4. Fill the rest of the pot, leaving about 1/2 inch between the soil surface and the rim.
5. Water and allow to drain; let the soil dry to the touch between waterings.
6. Avoid wetting leaves and do not let roots sit in drainage water.
7. Repot orchids every 18 to 24 months, or as your plant’s needs indicate.
