Default Potting mix source

Not only is a local nursery convenient, but they might have something more
attuned to the conditions you might have for your plants.

A good mix for a greenhouse cattleya grower in Florida is probably not
appropriate for a windowsill paph grower in Chicago.

Can anyone recommend a good source for ready-made orchid potting mixes?

Thanks


Your nearest orchid nursery would be happy to sell you potting mixes in
small quantities, most likely. If you really want to mail order,
orchidmix.com is a good source, but it could get expensive if you are
shipping a long way.

Rob's Rules: http://littlefrogfarm.com
1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a) See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more
orchids, obtain more credit
