Benefits of Seramis for Orchids - An Overview
The special substrate for orchids from Seramis combines the advantages of the classic Seramis plant granulate with high-quality pine bark. The inorganic spheres made of porous material absorb water and nutrients like a sponge. This enables the plant to absorb just as much moisture as it currently needs. The coarse pieces of bark support the vital ventilation of the root strands. So waterlogging and root rot are a thing of the past.

- Pour in a handful of seramis on top

- Dead Bulbs and cut off roots with a clean knife or scalpel
