To create the perfect orchid potting mix, follow these steps:

1. Choose your orchid variety and purchase the best media.

Orchids need a special orchid compost that is bark-based, as the loose structure allows water and air to flow freely around the plant’s roots.

A custom mix orchid compost kit made by Doctor Grow allows you to make your own blend at home. Simply add water and mix.

Homemade orchid fertilizer recipes include milk tea, eggshells, crushed dried chicken bones, molasses potatoes, and water that has been boiled in rice. By following these steps, you can create the perfect orchid potting mix that saves you money and ensures the right type of soil for your orchid.
