Using the mix is easy! Start with removing as much of the old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot while holding it sideways to loosen up the plant. Run the roots under lukewarm tap water to remove the last pieces and bits.
Also, make sure to remove any dead foliage that may still be on the plant using scissors. Now your plant is ready for its fresh Orchid soil. Add a small layer of Orchid mix at the bottom of the pot.
Place the plant in the pot, and slowly add Orchid soil to the sides to fill it up. Make sure that the point where the roots meet the plant is just buried under the Orchid soil.
Lightly pat the Orchid mix down into the pot. Make sure to water the Orchid mix thoroughly after repotting, as this helps settle the mix and roots down.
Why the Orchid Mix Works
This blend contains everything your orchid could be for. Orchids are a little different to most houseplants. As most orchids are epiphytes (plants that don't grow in soil) they prefer a substrate with lots of aeration and space.
To support this there is lots of orchid bark. The sphagnum moss helps retain humidity around the plant roots. Orchids will also do well in terrariums! The perfect general orchid mix.
The Original Habitat of the Orchid Plants
Most orchids are found in tropical forests in Central America and South America. They have thick larger roots that need airflow and humidity to thrive.
How to Care for Orchid Plants
While there are many types of orchids, we will outline a general care guide. Most orchids prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves and flowers. Contrary to popular belief, orchids are pretty easy to care for.
Do note that if you decide to change up your mix, the more sphagnum there is, the less water it needs. Vice versa, the more bark, the more water it needs. Sphagnum holds onto the water for a longer period of time.

You can store SYBASoil for about 2 years. Make sure to store it cool, dark and closed off. The effectiveness of the nutrients can degrade over the years. Simply add some fresh worm castings to give the soil new life.
When do I repot the plant?
We recommend repotting once any of these things happen: - You see roots growing out of the bottom of the pot - The soil dries very quickly between watering - The plant is top-heavy and wants to fall over - Roots are pushing the plant up and out of the container - Every 1 to 2 years
How to recycle SYBASoil packaging
Our packaging can be recycled at your local plastic recycling facility.
You can also re-use it for storage, or leave a little soil and use it as a propagation box!
How to water plants grown on the Orchid Mix
Water the soil only when the top 2-3cm of the soil is dried out. You can test this out by poking your finger in the soil to feel around.
It is fine to let it dry out a bit more sometimes if you forget it as the deeper soil will retain moisture for longer. This will also help the roots to grow deeper.

À part ce produit là pour les orchidées le restant est nickel
Ce produit est trop mélangé avec de l’écorce de pin trop gros et je l’ai vu hier en rempotant la fdk after dark black pearl qui est dans de l’écorce très fin
Je cherchais un nouveau produit pour une plante grasse mais vous je l’avez pas et il faut que je la trouve

Bonjour Pascal,
Merci pour ton message. Je suis désolée d'apprendre que tu n'es pas satisfait du terreau pour orchidées. Ce mélange contient à la fois de l'écorce de pin et des copeaux de coque de noix de coco. Cela a justement pour but de permettre aux racines de bien respirer.
Si tu as d'autres questions à ce sujet, n'hésite pas à m'envoyer un e-mail.

Mijn orgidee doen het goed in jullie grond,fijn product.
Ik heb nu al een deel van mijn planten in zijn nieuwe potgrond zitten. Ik moest toch even wachten om te kijken of ze tevreden zijn. En het resultaat is echt top! Ze zijn echt heel blij mee. Alles wat ik tot nu een verse potgrond gegeven heb ,geven mij nieuwe wortels en/of blaadjes. Kleinere maar ook volwassen orchideeën doen het heel goed tot nu!
Ce substrat a sauvé mon orchidée suite à un pourrissement des racines dans un substrat spécial orchidée du commerce. Il ne restait qu'une racine saine. Aujourd'hui tout va bien.
Bonjour, je suis très satisfait de ma commande chez sybren (SYBotanica),
Toutes mes orchidées ne florissant plus, ne produisait point de racines, avec tendance même à pourrir ou toujours trop sec, le substrats des commerces ne leur convenait pas, j’ai fait connaissance de ce site sybren SYbotanica, j’ai commandé ce substrat SYBASoil prenium Orchidées, j’ai rempoter toutes mes orchidées, en quelques semaines de nouvelles racines sont visibles, les feuilles brillent et de boutons de fleurs qui pousse, toutes les explications ou questions que l’on se pose, sont répondu et expliqué, merci beaucoup SYBotanica. À très bientôt pour de futures commandes.
Terreaux extraordinaires! Mes plantes se sentent merveilleusement bien 🤩 il ne faut pas hésiter à choisir le terreau qui correspond à votre plante, le choix est vaste.
Mon orchidée phalaenopsis est très contente du rempotage dans un pot plus grand avec l'orchidées mix. Elle est en train de me sortir trois nouvelles feuilles et de faire soit deux branches, soit deux racines on verra.
Prima grond
My baby orchid just moved to a new large pot filled with this high quality ground - I can’t be happier for her. The bag created in a very convenient way that you can seal it after use.
super, aucun regret
j'ai connu sybotanica sur youtube en suivant certaines youtubeuses fan de plantes, sur des sites de vente comme Etsy, qui parlaient de toutes sortes de terreaux géniaux et de très bonnes qualités, a force d'entendre parler de sybotanica, j'ai finis par venir voir, et commander, pas encore asse de recule mais les plantes rempotées avec leurs terreaux ce portent très bien, on voit que c'est un terreau de bonne qualité, je pense, c'est meme sur de continuer avec sybotanica, je suis ravie, merci a vous :)
sylvie.
Sehr gut Erde
Habe zwar meine Orchideen erst jetzt umgetopf und kann noch nichts zu ihrer Entwicklung sagen. Allerdings macht mir das Substrat einen besseren Eindruck als Orchideensubstrat aus dem Gartemarkt....es ist sogar Moos drin....toll!
'+++++ !'
J'avoue : je n'ai pas (pas encore... ?) d'orchidée. J'utilise ce substrat mélangé à d'autres pour les monsteras, raphidophora tétrasperma panachés, syngo, etc. toutes plantes sensées pousser au pied des arbres sur lesquels elles prennent appui.
Ik wil mijn vreugde delen!
Ik kocht Orchid Premium mix 5l aarde. En dit is mijn beste ervaring met het kopen van grond voor bloemen! Het komt volledig overeen met de beschrijving op de site en voldoet aan de behoeften van mijn bloemen. Dit is wat ik wil zeggen: Deze grond is gemaakt met liefde en zorg voor planten! Mijn planten zijn meteen geplant en zien er nu gezond uit en bloeien zelfs! Ik ben van plan om ook grond voor andere planten te kopen. Ik raad dit iedereen aan die van bloemen houdt. Dank aan je team🙏
Quietly optimistic
I bought the Orchid mix for an Odontoglossum which I had adopted and which was in very poor shape after having lost most leaves. After repotting and now two weeks further it seems to be settling down and starting to grow nicely with a new shoot developing. Subsequently also used for a mini Phalaenopsis which adjusted nicely to the new medium.
I'll be back... 🙂
Great Mix
I really love this orchid mix and found it super for my vanilla orchid which I repotted recently. I also used Sybotanica sphagnum moss for the moss pole. It is great quality stuff. Highly recommended.
Plant substraten voor orchideeën.
Prachtige mengsel. Kweek orchideeën sinds 1999. Afhankelijk van soort, of ontwikkeling fase v/d orchidee kan dit mengsel met gemaak worden aangepast door toevoegen van ‘actieve kool pellets’ en ‘puimsteen’. De nieuwe vierkante plastic potten is een prachtig aanschaf geweest. Ben er bijzonder tevreden met geboden producten.

Thanks voor je mooie review Mario! Super fijn om te horen dat de mix zo goed bevalt, zeker als je er al zo lang mee bezig bent. Dat is een mooi compliment. Mochten we je nog ergens mee kunnen helpen dan hoor ik dat graag.

So far so good
De orchidee potgrond is lekker los met brokken, niet poedrrachtig wat het onderdompelen van de orchidee ten goede komt
Ze lijken goed aan te slaan
Het is mooibspul

Hi Kathy,

Sehr gutes Substrat
Diese Orchideenerde ist sehr gut für Epiphyten die in Regenwälder auf Bäumen wachsen. Meine Pflanze hat sich erholt und gedeiht prächtig.

Exactly what I needed for my Macodes Petola
This soil is exactly what I needed for my little Lightning Orchid. Initially I was hesitating because in the picture the soil looks quite chunky. I wondered whether my very small plant, in an equally small container, would even stand up right in a soil this coarse. Luckily the mix is a lot more refined than it appears in the picture, so no big wood chips that you have no use for. It's a good mix of both bark and sphagnum moss and my plant is loving it.
Store owner replied:
Hi Anouck,
Thanks for your review and I am happy you like the mix! We got similair feedback and decided to adjust the recipe of the mix to better suit the Orchid's needs.

È la miglior miscela per orchidee che abbia provato. Il materiale è ottimo: consigliata!
