You probably already know that the right soil usually makes a difference. We've talked about the importance of soil substrate in another post.
๐ค For potted plants, the soil, of course, plays an extremely important role. It ensures healthy plant growth.๐ฟ
๐ค It should largely mimic the soil in which plants naturally grow, meaning it should contain approximately: 60% ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ, 25% ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐, 10% ๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ, and 5% ๐ต๐๐บ๐๐.
๐ค But if you're a beginner gardener, don't have time, or simply don't want to risk making mistakes in your soil mix, The Garden League comes to your aid with some ready-made organic growing substrates by Dr. Soil :

If you like potted citrus trees, keep in mind that the right soil for lemons, oranges, or palm trees is a mixture of clay and peat or tree bark.

Since orchids are epiphytic plants, the potted orchid substrate should be fibrous, like peat or bark, which drains water well.
FOLLOW us if this information was helpful ๐ and tell us in the comments how you prefer, to prepare the substrate or buy it pre-mixed?
