Orchids don't grow in soil and potting one into "good soil" is the fastest way to lose it.
Orchids and epiphytes anchor onto bark high in the canopy. Their roots grab a passing rain and then dry fast in moving air. Bury those roots in ordinary mix and they suffocate and rot within weeks.
Sky Dwellers recreates the tree-branch root zone: lab-tested at GKVK, Bengaluru at 23.85% air-filled porosity among the airiest mixes we make with the lowest moisture reserve in our range (1,382 g/kg), on purpose, so it drains and dries the way epiphyte roots demand. Air first, a quick drink second, fast drying in between.
Built for: Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Cattleya, Oncidium, Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera, Neoregelia, Guzmania, Staghorn Fern.
Lab-tested (GKVK, FAO method): AFP 23.85% · WHC 1,382 g/kg · pH 6.30

What's inside
- LECA fluoride-free structural drainage, appropriate for fluoride-sensitive species
- Zeolite potassium retention for frond development; moisture reserve
- Perlite macro-pore aeration
- Mineral Lock™ moisture film for palm watering cycles
- Microbial Innoculent - moderate nutrition appropriate for palms; does not tolerate richness
- Activated Charcoal 700 IV 700 m²/g adsorption, pH buffer
- Active Brain sodium purge, pH calibration, long-term pH stability
How many pots it fills
One kg bag fills approximately six to seven 4 inch pots and three 6 inch pots depending on the pot size
Instructions
Step 1: Fill the substrate in the pot and tap it to make the substrate settle
Step 2: Water it until you see water drops coming from the bottom
Step 3: Wait for 5 minutes
Step 4: Water it again until the water starts flowing freely from the bottom (This will start the Ph buffering and the EC to come down)
Buy more, pay less. Mix and match any substrate.

How to use
01
Choose your mix
Pick the mix engineered for your plant family. Each is formulated for specific native habitat conditions.
02
Fill one-third
Fill your pot to one-third with the substrate leaving the cavity of the plant, Plant the plant and fill the substrate completely
03
Water thoroughly
Water on first use to activate Mineral Lock and trigger Active Brain pH calibration and wait for 5 minutes
04
Water as normal
Water the substrate until it drains freely. The substrate self-manages drainage, nutrition and pH for 1 - 1.5 years. No testing required.
