If you've grown Phalaenopsis (moth) orchids, you've probably seen them potted in two VERY different substrates. Usually they come in either sphagnum moss or Pinus radiata bark.  One of these holds 20 times its weight in water, the other barely holds water at all. 

Confusing, right?

It's also misleading, because a new orchid parent will assume the substrate is the right choice for the plant, then either they end up with rotten roots because it's in a soggy swamp, or they dehydrate their orchid so severely all the blooms fall off and the plant dies.

This Orchid Substrate Crafting Guide will explain our ingredient choices and help you pick ingredients that match your watering preferences.  The included recipes are designed to be tweaked, so please - play around!  This guide will give you the confidence to mix, test, adjust, and find your perfect orchid medium.
