Pinus radiata is sourced from renewable, man-made forests ensuring availability into the future. New Zealand Pinus radiata is a hard and stable bark compared to other pine species; however, it needs to be processed from its raw state. Our unique natural process creates a high quality, stable, long lasting, toxin free, consistent growing substrate available in different sizes for your specific growing needs. Our process allows Orchiata to hold water and nutrients on the outside layer of each chip, as well as creating a slightly rough surface for roots to anchor to. Pathogens do not survive this process; however beneficial micro-organisms remain. Growers' have reported that frequent re-potting is not necessary, as potted plants have been known to remain in excellent condition in excess of 10 years. It is available in five convenient sizes: Ex Small (1/8" 4-6mm), Small (3/8" 6-9mm), Medium (1/2" 9-12mm), Large ¾" 12-18mm) and Ex Large (1" 18-25mm). Review: This product is excellent for small or young orchids. - I also use it to top off repotted larger orchids. Very clean and consistent in size. This purchase was to see if it was something I would like and I do very much. But it is not very good value-wise. I ordered the same product/brand in the 40 Liter size which is equivalent to 10.58 gallons. At the gallon price it would cost $184.18. desertcart price for 40 liter is $63! So I am getting a lot of bark for 1/3 the cost. It doesn't go bad and I will be repotting for many years. Review: Great soil amendment - Used as an amendment for my houseplants, in the smallest size. I love this orchid bark and will purchase it again! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008DBWMK4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #260,101 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,219 in Garden Soil | | Brand | besgrow | | Brand Name | besgrow | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 294 Reviews | | Manufacturer Part Number | orchiata-bark-sm-1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Style | Bark,Potting | | Style Name | Bark,Potting | | Unit Count | 128.0 Fluid Ounces | | Volume | 2.5 Gallons | ## Product Details - **Brand:** besgrow - **Style:** Bark,Potting - **Item Volume:** 2.5 Gallons ## Images ![Orchiata New Zealand Pinus Radiata Bark - Small Chips (3/8") 1 Gallon Bag - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ltUqkb4SL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this post to smell like mold? And its wet why? It was completly ziplocked Wont buy from them anymore** A: Sometime they come with the humidity trapped inside the zip lock bag. If there is no white mold, leave the bag open and let it dry out before close the bag to put away. **Q: Do you need to open bag to dry when you receive?ive** A: You can is you like but it is not necessary. We re-bag to the smaller 1 gal. bags from the large commercial bags almost every week. The larger bags are perforated so the dryness of the medium will change somewhat over time. We like to re-pot using moist medium so we wet the medium before poting an orchid. It is really a matter of choice. Best of luck. **Q: Its comming biger size bag medium** A: We will be adding 2.5 gal bags soon. **Q: I have a bunch of fine rooted bulbophyllums, would the small or medium sized chips be better?** A: I would say the small chips are what you want. These chips are similar to any chips you might use, and actually if you go to the Orchiata site, there will be guidelines regarding the size chips you need to use for particular plant size use. I will say that for my conditions (relatively high humidity), I mix Growstone GS-2 with the Orchiata to prevent overly wet planting medium. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This product is excellent for small or young orchids. *by R***D on March 13, 2021* I also use it to top off repotted larger orchids.
