A thoughtful home for orchid roots

There is something quietly rewarding about caring for an orchid: the slow appearance of a new root, a fresh leaf, or the first sign of a flower spike. The growing medium matters, but so does understanding what your plant needs.

EcoCharisma® brings together a coir-based blend in a convenient 20 L bag, developed for orchid growers who want a practical, peat-free alternative for repotting. The aim is simple: a loose, open medium that can hold some moisture without being packed tightly around the roots.

Why choose EcoCharisma®?

• Made with orchids in mind –  a coir-based medium rather than a general-purpose compost.
• An airy texture –  intended to leave space around roots when potted loosely.
• A useful balance of moisture and drainage –  with results depending on pot type, watering and the plant itself.
• Ready to use –  a 20 L bag for convenient repotting and ongoing orchid care.
• Peat-free formulation -a practical choice for growers seeking a coir-based orchid medium.

Best for

Repotting established indoor orchids; refreshing tired growing media; orchid enthusiasts looking for a coir-based potting mix. The current product listing names Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium and Cattleya. As orchid requirements vary considerably, check that the particle size and drainage suit your species before use.

The right mix for the right plant

EcoCharisma® is intended for orchids. If you are potting foliage houseplants rather than orchids, explore DomusCoir® instead. For general garden containers, consider the CoirProducts® growing media range. Choosing a mix for the plant, rather than treating every compost as interchangeable, is often the better starting point.

How to use EcoCharisma®

1. Choose a clean orchid pot with adequate drainage; a transparent orchid pot can make root checks easier for suitable species.
2. Gently remove old, deteriorated medium and inspect the roots. Avoid unnecessary damage to healthy roots.
3. Loosen the EcoCharisma® mix before use. Position the orchid and fill carefully around its roots without pressing the medium down firmly.
4. Water according to the orchid species, the condition of its roots and the moisture already present. Do not leave the pot standing in water.
5. Keep up suitable light, ventilation and an orchid-specific feeding routine. Observe the plant and adjust care as needed.

How much will I need?

One bag contains 20 litres of growing medium. The number of orchids you can repot will depend on pot size, the amount of existing medium removed and how loosely the blend is used. As a rough planning guide only, a 12 cm pot might take around 0.5–1.5 litres of mix; actual requirements vary greatly with root mass and pot shape. Measure your pots before ordering.
