Orchiata is available in 5 distinct sizes, so what are you calling "standard"?
When I use the stuff, I use it straight, with no additives, but when the plant needs more moisture, simply opt for the next size down.
A word to the wise: before using it, trickle VERY hot water over the Orchiata (don't soak it) to wet it, wait 15 minutes and repeat. That opens up the internal structure, allowing more water absorption, without removing the dolomite that has been added during processing for sale.
