Orchids

High-quality orchid substrate

We set the benchmark for orchid substrates thanks to our many years of experience, extensive knowledge of orchid growing and our position as a market leader. We have developed a good, uniform substrate based on bark that offers guaranteed quality. We source our bark from Portugal, where it is steam treated and cleaned at our processing site before being transported to our production site in Bleiswijk. On arrival, the bark is stored in our special closed system to guarantee uniform quality. Using a closed system also excludes insects and prevents contamination by weed seeds.

Bark is expected to remain an important raw material for orchid substrate due to its excellent drainage properties, quick drying action and good aeration of the substrate for strong root growth. It is also very versatile and easy to process. The stable properties of bark make it ideal as a substrate for long cultivation cycles. Bark offers the precise properties required by these varieties of plants.

In addition to bark, the substrate also contains moisture-binding raw materials such as sphagnum peat, coconut chips and stable peat products. Thanks to the high quality of our substrate combined with our specialist knowledge, we have acquired an impressive customer base in the Netherlands, the United States (California), South America (Mexico, Brazil and Colombia) and Asia (Taiwan).

Customised fertilisers

We have developed a range of dedicated orchid fertilisers, such as HC mix and Orchid Start-Up. HC mix is our own organic fertiliser mixture with a higher nitrogen content and controlled release. Orchid Start-Up is a complete NPK fertiliser including trace elements. The formulation has been balanced specifically to suit orchids and provide them with the best possible start.

Other fertilisers can be added to the formula to suit your specific needs. Curious to learn more? Contact us!
