    This was expensive. Compared to the brand I wanted to get, it was double the price, but I had to buy this because it was the only product that had next day shipping and I hadn't realized I was so low on potting soil before I started to repot my orchid. Also, since covid restrictions are on, the local shop has been ordered to close for now. I wish I would have reviews like I usually do, but it was late at night and I needed the product quickly and forgot to do a thorough check.

    I selected a "coarse" product but I found out that the blend looks nothing like the image on the front--in fact, most of this is just plain, moist dirt with the odd piece of bark mixed in. I was expecting straight bark, hence "coarse". It would have been better if I had went outside and scavenged bark from the local park instead of paying so much for such a low-quality product. As you can imagine, my Phalaenopsis orchid, which was healthy for 3 years got stem rot 2 weeks after using this product, and had a white mold on top of the . You can see by the images I've added the that root system would have been perfectly fine, and the leaves had been green when I would have repotted it. How expensive, what a waste. This plant was a gift from my former employers, and I'm sad to see it die so suddenly. I am extremely annoyed and will never buy this again and it has perhaps turned me off of this brand altogether!
