Somebody gave me an (unnamed) orchid from M&S last year. I put it above the (North-facing) kitchen sink, and it seemed to like it. The (brief) instructions said, cut down the stalk when it finishes flowering. I did that. Second stalk bloomed beautifully in June and July this year. Third and fourth stalks making their way. After second stalk had finished blooming, I noticed new shoots off it. It has grown new plants, with aerial roots, off the side of the stem. Original plant was getting constrained in M&S pot - roots were clambering out of the pot. New pots and wonderful Orchid Focus Repotting Mix. Repotted the original plant and have potted up the offspring. Two weeks ago; so far, they all seem to be very happy! I can tell because they are starting to 'unfurl' their top leaves (which develop folded into each other). (Still no idea what they are, other than orchids, lol) Was very grateful for advice and would recommend the Orchid Focus Mix, it's working well so far, and very good value. Tbh I bought it on others' recommendation, but I can confirm it has been working for me! Thank you!Read full review

Perfect for my Orchids. They loved it and thrive, and stay alive for an amazing length of time. 3 years on, Orchids went into just leaves, then over last six weeks erupted and produced 7 beautiful flowers. Don't throw your orchids out, ever!

Useful instructions on packaging, as this was my first time re- potting an orchid, after one week it looks so much healthier and has new leaves starting. It is really easy to use, would recommend it.

The best quality product of its type. Just the right range of bark size for good aeration and drainage.

This is only the second time I've re-potted my orchid and this compost was of much better quality. No huge lumps, just even sized pieces which were easy to spread between the roots. I just hope my Orchid has survived the 'move' in summer (which I'm not supposed to do according to the experts!).
