Aussie Gold^TM Orchid Mix is based on Diatomite, a natural rock product mined in Australia. Diatomite consists of the skeletal remains of microscopic single cell fresh water plants known as diatoms. These small plants developed an opaline siliceous shell-like armor for protection. Over the millennia the fossil shells accumulated on the beds of fresh water lakes in Australia and compacted into the lightweight porous rock known as Diatomite. Over the last few years, Diatomite has been tested by orchid nurseries and proved to be advantageous to orchid growing at all stages of the plants' development.

Why is Aussie Gold^TM  Orchid Mix so fantastic?

Aussie Gold^TM Orchid Mix retains more water than other mixes, and slowly releases moisture to the orchid's roots. Because all the ingredients are inert, the mixture does not deteriorate and so does not rot the root system.

Unlike commonly used media like bark, coconut husk and sphagnum moss, Aussie Gold^TM Orchid Mix can be reused when you need to repot after the orchid outgrows its container.

The problem of when and how much to water your orchid or pot plant can be forgotten. You cannot over-water your orchid using Aussie Gold^TM Orchid Mix.

Aussie Gold^TM Orchid Mix helps to keep pests to a minimum. The inclusion of diatomite in the medium means that slugs, snails and other pests cannot survive in the pot as the multi-faceted nature of the stone fatally damages the insects.

Aussie Gold^TM Orchid Mix is non-toxic and is environmentally friendly. It is sterile and pH neutral.
