Eliminating the stigma that comes with orchids potted up in Coco Coir! More and more often we are seeing orchids potted up in Coco Coir, at least in Europe! So, we might as well get used to taking care of orchids in Coco Coir, but first, we have to understand the properties and composition of Coco Coir and what it can do to grow our orchids Coco Coir, successfully. Even if it is not the media of choice, and we cannot wait to get our orchids out of Coco Coir, into media that we prefer and works better in our climate, sometimes, the timing of a repot is not ideal, and it is necessary to work with Coco Coir while the orchid is still in the pot. #growingorchids #orchidcare #wateringorchidscococoir #fertilizingorchidscococoir #orquideas #plantas #terrestrialorchids #groundorchidcare #oncidium #maxillaria #cymbidium #phaius #slippers
