This is a high-oxygen epiphytic mix designed for plants where root-zone airflow is critical.
It is engineered to keep roots oxygenated even immediately after watering, with low moisture retention, rapid drainage, and persistent structure. This mix performs best for true epiphytes and select climbing aroids with thick, fleshy, exploratory roots.
Think exposed bark, moss pockets, and open air—where roots are hydrated briefly and then breathe continuously.
This is not a terrestrial or moisture-buffered substrate.
(Meticulously blended to work harmoniously with each other)
Coco Husk – Chunky structural organic. Provides internal water buffering without collapsing pore space; supports thick roots and rapid dry-down.
Orchiata Bark – Structural backbone. Long-lasting, microbially stable bark that maintains airflow and prevents compression over time.
Moss Petals – Strategic moisture moderation. Adds localized humidity and brief moisture availability without converting the mix into a water-retentive matrix.
Perlite – Lightweight permanent aeration. Preserves macropores and oxygen pathways even at full saturation.
Biochar – Nutrient buffering and microbial habitat. Moderates EC swings and stabilizes biology without acting as a fertilizer.
This mix is designed for plants that require maximum airflow, fast wet–dry cycling, and non-collapsing structure.
Best suited for:
Epiphytic orchids
Epiphytic and hemiepiphytic aroids with climbing habits
Plants with thick, fleshy roots that suffocate in soil-based mixes
Growers who water thoroughly and manage nutrition actively
This mix prioritizes oxygen first, moisture second.
Water thoroughly to full runoff every time.
Do not “sip” water—partial watering is ineffective.
Fertilize weakly and consistently; there is no nutrient reserve.
Use porous, vented, or rigid pots; avoid closed cache pots.
Tight pot sizing is essential—excess volume leads to dry roots.
This mix is not forgiving of neglect or infrequent watering.

Optional booster packs are formulated to work specifically with this mix and contain 100% natural ingredients to support faster establishment after repotting.
They do not replace regular feeding.
They support plants for approximately 1–2 months during re-establishment.
Mix thoroughly into the substrate before use.
Do not apply as a surface top-dress.
All mixes are hand-blended to order using high-quality ingredients sourced from reputable suppliers. Nothing is pre-mixed or mass-produced.
These formulations were developed with professional grower input and refined through extensive testing across a wide range of environments and growing conditions.
Plant performance depends on environment and cultural practices. We are not responsible for outcomes resulting from improper lighting, watering, feeding, pest pressure, or mismatched plant selection.
These mixes are tools. Results vary based on how they are used.
