Westland Orchid Potting Mix 8L
Westland Orchid Potting Mix 8L
What makes me unique?
- Orchids love being in a mix that that lets water run past their roots instead of sitting in a waterlogged pot. This dry, free-draining peat free potting mix prevents over watering and deters flies for healthier, happy plants.
- Added zinc complex promotes more root growth into your new potting mix, faster re-potting establishment and also boosts plant resilience.
- Rich in pine bark to create the perfect balance of aeration and drainage for healthy root development.
How does Seramis work?
- Our unique Seramis granules absorb water and nutrients. They then release the water and nutrients when the plan needs it, keeping orchids hydrated and nourished.
Potting & Re-potting
- Find a new pot, choose one with just enough room for the roots and fill one third of a pot with potting mix.
- Remove dead and shrivelled roots but leave potting mix attached to healthy plump white roots.
- Place the orchid in the pot and carefully spread out the roots. Gently hold the plant by its stem and fill around the roots. Tap the pot to settle the potting mix – do not firm down.
- Top Tips – Orchids may need anchoring in the pot with a stick or wire. Re-pot just after flowering or during the period when new growth and new roots appear.
Tips & Advice
- Don’t let orchids go hungry. Packed full of essential nutrients orchids need to thrive, feeding with Westland Orchid Feed is the secret to lush, healthy orchids.
- Don’t let your plants get stressed! Under or over watering your plants can often lead to pest and disease problems. Use a Westland Watering Indicator so you know exactly when to water, they change colour when your plant needs a drink.
- Don’t use me with ericaceous plants.
- Before use, re-work potting mix with hands to reconstitute
- Use in a well ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust.
- Wearing gloves is a good idea, and don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards.

Have used other Westland products and always been very pleased with them so……decided to try the Orchid potting mix. It is excellent and appears to have more “body” than other mixes i.e. a variety of mixes within the compost.
Have re-potted three orchids with it so we`ll have to be patient – cut a lot of the old “roots” off and currently giving them tlc!

This is a good sized bag, contents are a decent moist level. Just hope I can use it all before it dries out. Appears to be a good mix of contents. I think this is a good standalone mix although I still like to add a bit of sphagnum for moisture retentio
