2QT Orchid Potting Mix with Moss Pine Bark Mulch Perlite & Coco Peat Natural Ingredients, Orchid Repotting Soil Medium Great for Indoor Plant Root Climbing & Expanding

I replanted my Orchid shortly after purchasing this and it is growing like crazy! I had more than enough to replant with. Very pleased with this purchase, so is my plant! I will definitely buy this mix again.

I bought to put on top of potted plants to reserve water. Very decorative compared to rocks. I also wanted to mix in the soil at a later time. Would I buy again! Only if I can find a better price.

This is as pictured, in that it's moss, small bits of perlite, and small wood chips. It arrives is a loosely packed rectangle that measures about 8" x 5.5" x 1". There's no way that it's 2 QTs. If I pull it apart and shake up the moss to fully expand it, I think it's about half that. After expanding it as much as I can, it fits in a 4-cup measuring cup, without needing to be pressed down to fit. I'm hoping that soaking it in water for a time will further expand it, but realistically it would have to more than double in volume to reach the advertised size. For that reason, I'm deducting a star. Otherwise it seems fine and does come in a thick resealable bag.

So this mix was ok. For my personal taste and orchids, I would have liked to see more perlite for better drainage. This had a lot of moss and tiny perlite in it. It had hardly any bark. That being said, the mix ratios of any orchid mix depend on the orchid and their conditions. I have more chunky perlite and can add it to this mix, so it's not that big of a deal. My real problem with this mix is that none of it was properly dried before shipping. Everything was still damp, and that means the potential for mold, fungus, and other things I don't want in my orchid. I have no idea how long it has sat damp in the warehouse before being shipped to me. From now on, I will continue to buy mixes where they are clear about the items being properly dried out before packaging.
