ORCHID VITA-MIX 
(Complete Orchid Potting Mixture) 
ORCHID VITA-MIX is a complete orchid potting mixture for orchid and bromeliad seed- 
lings, from COMMUNITY POT size through 3” pot size. The ORCHID VITA-MIX pours 
easily into the pot. It is much easier to use than straight osmunda. ORCHID VITA-MIX 
contains natural ground cork and perlite. The cork has the same acidity as osmunda (a 
pH of 4.5) and it has all the plant food elements except it is low in nitrogen. Perlite 
is an excellent rooting media made from volcanic obsidian rock and is neutral (neither 
acid nor alkaline), it provides excellent drainage and aeration. CORK has been used 
for years as totems for growing other epiphytic plants (philodendrons, bromeliads, etc.). 
This media is quite free of infectious diseases (damping off) which is a great asset 
when planting seedlings. Instructions sent with order. 
While this media would be excellent for mature plants we believe a larger size cork 
would be better. This will be available in the future for mature plants. At present we 
recommend when shifting 3” plants to 4” that straight osmunda be used.
