Orchids naturally grow as epiphytes, where their roots get plenty of air and only limited moisture – and this mineral blend mimics exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"691\" data-start=\"446\"\u003eWith its open and well-draining structure, Orchid Mineral Mix ensures that the roots receive optimal aeration while keeping moisture at a balanced level.
