SUPERSPHAG
FROM THE LEAF OF SPHAGNUM MOSS
An EXCLUSIVE new growing medium from TINDARA™. This is one of the finest growing mediums we have ever used. Supersphag is an incredible growing medium made from the leaf of sphagnum moss where the moss is cleaned and chopped so that all that is left is the leaf which is dried and compressed into cubes. The cubes are compressed to ensure complete rehydration and to preserve the integrity of the sphagnum moss leaf.
The Supersphag cubes are not all the same size.
When 20 cubes of Supersphag are soaked with 16-20 cups of water,
and fluffed, it produces over a 1/3 cubic foot of clean sphagnum
moss. Use our Measuring Cup to accurately measure 8 oz. of water per Supersphag cube.
If you wish, a mix of 50% Perlite will open the mix up even more.
Many of the expert Disa growers in South Africa, New Zealand, and California are currently getting great results with a mixture of Supersphag and perlite.
Supersphag can also be useful for orchid plants ex-flask, and to encourage root growth production on “back bulbs” and divisions. Other uses include mulching house plants and also rooting begonias, gloxinias, azaleas, and other acid loving plants.
A 1 inch cube will expand to over 20 times its size when 8 ounces of water is added to the cube. 20 cubes will yield 10 quarts, over 1/3 cubic feet.
| SUPERSPHAG ~ 20 cubes per package ~ $16.95 |
LAVA ROCK
A great addition to many growing mediums
If you purchased Dendrobiums you have probably seen them potted in this medium. It is a favorite medium in Hawaii for growing Dendrobiums. It retains water and never breaks down. Lava rock is very airy and the plant roots grow extremely well in it.
Not limited just for Dendrobiums, Lava Rock is an ideal growing medium for all plants especially orchids.
We recommend adding lava rock to your favorite growing medium such as coconut husk chips or Fir Bark.

Orchid Fir Bark
A PROFESSIONAL GRADE ORCHID POTTING
MEDIUM
The classic growing medium. Our orchid bark is a professional grade, clean, dried Douglas fir bark sterilized through a heat treatment process to reduce the chance of pathogens and infestation problems. Fir bark has a rough surface and does not compact, allowing air and water to be absorbed by the plant’s roots.
For optimal results, soak all barks in water (with ¼ teaspoon of added Superthrive) for at least one hour before use in order to hydrate the fir bark. The use of Jack's Classic Fertilizer, formulated especially for bark, is also highly reccomended!
Fir bark is available in three grades:
 |
Fine Grade Orchid Fir Bark
Use for mericlones, seedlings, or orchids with fine roots. |
 |
Medium Grade Orchid Fir Bark
Use for epiphytic orchids. |
 |
Coarse Grade Orchid Fir Bark
Use for vandas, cattleyas and large Phalaenopsis. |
Jack's Classic Fertilizer:
Coir Fiber Compressed Bricks
Coir or pith fiber is an excellent potting medium for starting seeds, cuttings, and transplants. As a by-product of the coconut harvest, coir fiber is a renewable resource and an eco-friendly alternative to bog dredged peat moss. Although slightly less acidic than peat moss, coir fiber absorbs moisture faster and retains it longer, holding 10 times its weight in water. Coarsely shredded coir fiber lasts 8 times longer than peat moss while resisting bacterial mold and fungal growth; plus, it is weed and pathogen free. It makes an excellent soil amendment or mulch, and when combined with perlite makes an excellent seed starter.
To use, simply soak with five quarts of warm water per brick for 15-20 minutes. Add Superthrive or Maxsea Fertilizer to the water for maximum results. Allow water to absorb. Drain. Stir to a fluffy texture.
Available as compressed bricks which expands to 1/3 cubic ft.
Coconut Husk Chip Bricks
This organic medium provides an excellent aeration system, while also holding moisture for your orchids. It aids in rapid growth for orchids, bromeliads, anthruiums (hydroponics), and many other plants that benefit from an aerated medium. Coconut husk does not break down and moisture is held within each chip, discouraging fungus gnats. With a favorable pH of 5.2-6.5, the results are exceptional.
Growers are encouraged to mix the Coconut husk chip growing medium with an equal amount of Aliflor, and/or Perlite for optimum results. To use, simply soak each brick in warm water for 30-45 minutes.
Add Superthrive, Maxsea Fertilizer, or AGRO to the water for maximum results. Allow water to absorb. Drain. Stir to a fluffy texture.
Available in 6.5 liter compressed bricks.
Styrofoam Peanuts
Styrofoam Peanuts are great when potting orchids or any potted plant. Medium, S-shaped white Styrofoam will not break down, maintaining its exceptionally good aeration properties to the root system.
Placing Styrofoam peanuts at the bottom of the pot allows for additional aeration and keeps the roots out of the water in humidity trays.
Extensively used in mixes by commercial growers with outstanding results. Keeps growing medium from compacting.
Sponge-Rock ~ Perlite
Very large, chunky crystal-white Perlite (Sponge Rock) will not easily break down, maintaining its great water holding capacity and its exceptionally good aeration properties to the root system. Extensively used in mixes by commercial growers with outstanding results. Keeps growing medium from compacting. Use when potting orchids or any type of potted plant.
Premium New Zealand Sphagnum Moss AAA+
Very large, chunky crystal-white Perlite (Sponge Rock) will not easily break down, maintaining its great water holding capacity and its exceptionally good aeration properties to the root system. Extensively used in mixes by commercial growers with outstanding results. Keeps growing medium from compacting. Use when potting orchids or any type of potted plant.
WORM CASTINGS
Nature’s purest form of humus
Earth Worm Castings are one of nature’s purest forms of humus. A natural, all organic soil amendment that provides readily available minerals and nutrients for stimulating plant growth. These castings are of the finest quality and do not contain fillers or additives. Use Wonder Worm as a soil conditioner for hanging baskets, potted plants, raised beds, houseplants. For orchids you may want to add one tablespoon three times a year and work gently into the potting mix. Compliment the power of Earth Worm Castings by using our Oyster Shell Flour.
