Excuse my newbieness, but what would a sweet organic,heavy terrestrial
mix consist of?

I just happened to run across a cymbidium in need of a home and a re
potting job. The tag says Cymbidium Freshie Pauwelsil X Finlay
Sonianim. The plant itself didn't seem in bad shape, but the roots
were a rotten mass.

The info I downloaded from the aos suggests a mix of fir bark, perlite
and peat moss, but no ratios of how to mix.
