Description:
Substrate designed to best meet the complex needs of all orchids, both "monopodial" orchids, which grow by stem elongation (such as Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Angraecum), and "sympodial" orchids, which generally form pseudobulbs (more or less pronounced swellings containing nutrient reserves) from which clumps of new vegetation branch off (such as Miltonia, Cattleya, Cymbidium, Oncidium).Due to the presence of a substantial fraction of selected red pine bark from the French Landes, Fondolinfa Orchids ensures a long-lasting porous and draining structure, reducing the risks of asphyxiation and root rot. The peat fraction ensures proper water retention and increases the "exchange capacity" of nutrients.Because of these unique characteristics and the specificity of cultivation, Fondolinfa Orchids cannot be substituted for any other soil in the Fondolinfa series.French maritime pine bark (mm. 10/25); blond peat.pH 5.0-5.5 - maximum salinity 400 μS/cm.
