Composition

Pine bark (minimum 80%), Sphagnum moss, trace elements, PG-mix and Micromax fertilisers.

Why it works

• Pine bark creates an airy structure that prevents root rot and lets excess moisture evaporate.
• Sphagnum moss holds nutrients and trace elements for the long term, encouraging plant growth.
• PG-mix is an organic fertiliser that helps root development.
• Micromax provides a high content of essential trace elements.

How to use

1. 1Choose a transparent pot with drainage holes, suited to the size of the plant.
2. 2Remove dead leaves and roots from the orchid. Rinse the roots gently with lukewarm water.
3. 3Put a layer of VitaSol substrate on the bottom of the pot.
4. 4Place the plant and cover with substrate — do not bury the base of the orchid too deep.
5. 5Do not water for the first 7 days — let the substrate settle and the roots adapt.

Useful tips

• Water the orchid only when its roots turn pearly white — roughly once every 7 days in summer and once every 10 days in winter.
• Do not pour water into the centre of the plant and never over the leaves — pour gently beside the leaves.
• Place the plant in a bright room, out of direct sunlight.
• No fertiliser is needed in the first 4 months after changing the substrate.
