My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

gritty mix with orchids?

15 years ago

I have a phalaenopsis orchid that's due for a re pot and was thinking about using the gritty mix, which I use for all my other plants/trees. Has anyone used this mix with their orchids and would you recommend it? This is my only orchid and I'm quite fond of it and would hate to cause it harm by using an inappropriate mix.

TIA

-Matty
