The Perfect Base for Beautiful Orchids: Potting Soil from Pokon

Dear plant lovers, if you, like me, love the delicate beauty of orchids, you know that these special plants deserve that little bit of extra attention. Today I want to talk about how to give them the best start with the Pokon Potgrond Orchid.

When I first started growing orchids, I quickly discovered that the right potting soil makes a world of difference. Orchids have specific needs, especially when it comes to their roots. Pokon potting soil is specially formulated with tree bark and peat, creating a perfect balance between airiness and moisture retention. This allows the roots to breathe, while still providing them with enough moisture to stay healthy.

What I like about this potting soil is that it has been developed in collaboration with experts who know exactly what orchids need. This means that I am always assured that my plants receive the best care.

To use them properly I recommend the following rhythm
  • Monday : Check the moisture content of the potting soil and spray the leaves lightly with water.
  • Wednesday : Move your orchids a quarter turn to ensure they receive even light.
  • Friday : Water the potting soil and allow excess water to drain away properly.
For the seasonal changes, here are some tips:
  • Spring : This is the ideal time to repot your orchids in Pokon Potting Soil. New roots will quickly take hold in the fresh, airy structure.
  • Summer : Provide adequate ventilation to promote air circulation and prevent the potting soil from becoming too wet by watering less often.
  • Fall : Begin to reduce your watering slightly when your orchids' growth slows.
  • Winter : Increase the humidity by misting regularly and place your orchids in a brighter spot to compensate for the lack of daylight.
My user advice

This potting soil is perfect for all your orchids, whether you are a beginner or an experienced grower. Place your orchids in a spot with bright, indirect light and use a clear pot to keep a close eye on the moisture level of the roots.
