Using the mix is easy! start with removing as much of the old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot while holding it sideways to loosen up the plant. Run the roots under lukewarm tap water to remove the last pieces and bits.
Also, make sure to remove any dead foliage that may still be on the plant using scissors. Now your plant is ready for its fresh Orchid soil. Add a small layer of Orchid mix at the bottom of the pot.
Place the plant in the pot, and slowly add Orchid soil to the sides to fill it up. Make sure that the point where the roots meet the plant is just buried under the Orchid soil.
Lightly pat the Orchid mix down into the pot. Make sure to water the Orchid mix thoroughly after repotting, as this helps settle the mix and roots down.
This blend contains everything your orchid could be for. Orchids are a little different to most houseplants. As most orchids are epiphytes (plants that don't grow in soil) they prefer a substrate with lots of aeration and space.
To support this there is lots of orchid bark. The sphagnum moss helps retain humidity around the plant roots. Orchids will also do well in terrariums! The perfect general orchid mix.
Most orchids are found in tropical forests in Central America and South America. They have thick larger roots that need airflow and humidity to thrive.
While there are many types of orchids, we will outline a general care guide. Most orchids prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves and flowers. Contrary to popular belief, orchids are pretty easy to care for.
Do note that if you decide to change up your mix, the more sphagnum there is, the less water it needs. Vice versa, the more bark, the more water it needs. Sphagnum holds onto the water for a longer period of time.
**Improved recipe with smaller orchid bark to fit smaller pots**
If the pot is differently shaped (Square, oval, e.t.c.), the calculations might not be accurate. You can also check out the plant pots product pages to check their total volume.

Check out this pot volume calculator tool to calculate how much Orchid mix you need.
The nutrients in SYBASoil will run out in ~6 months on average. We recommend refeeding by removing the top part of the soil and adding 10-20% of the volume with fresh worm castings.
You can store SYBASoil for about 2 years. Make sure to store it cool, dark and closed off. The effectiveness of the nutrients can degrade over the years. Simply add some fresh worm castings to give the soil new life.
We recommend repotting once any of these things happen:
- You see roots growing out of the bottom of the pot
- The soil dries very quickly between watering
- The plant is top-heavy and wants to fall over
- Roots are pushing the plant up and out of the container
- Every 1 to 2 years
Our packaging can be recycled at your local plastic recycling facility.
You can also re-use it for storage, or leave a little soil and use it as a propagation box!
Water the soil only when the top 2-3cm of the soil is dried out. You can test this out by poking your finger in the soil to feel around.
It is fine to let it dry out a bit more sometimes if you forget it as the deeper soil will retain moisture for longer. This will also help the roots to grow deeper.

Mijn orgideeen zijn heel blij met de nieuwe grond ze stonden te springen van geluk .
Sehr wenig Rinde, dafür Unmengen an Kokosfasern und spaghnummoos, dazu sehr feinstückig.Aktivkohle?Ich habe 2 stücke drinnen gesehen. Das nächste Mal
Stelle ich wieder selbst mein Substrat zusammen .
Qualität super. Handlich beim Eintopfen. Machen einen guten Eindruck! Gerne wieder.
Mijn orchideeën zien er sterker uit !
Habe zwar meine Orchideen erst jetzt umgetopf und kann noch nichts zu ihrer Entwicklung sagen. Allerdings macht mir das Substrat einen besseren Eindruck als Orchideensubstrat aus dem Gartemarkt....es ist sogar Moos drin....toll!
J'avoue : je n'ai pas (pas encore... ?) d'orchidée. J'utilise ce substrat mélangé à d'autres pour les monsteras, raphidophora tétrasperma panachés, syngo, etc. toutes plantes sensées pousser au pied des arbres sur lesquels elles prennent appui.
