Orchiata New Zealand Pinus Radiata Bark - Medium Chips (1/2") 1 Gallon Bag

I am using this quality bark (2nd time purchase) to make my own soil mix with perlite and potting soil for all my indoor plants - be it tropical or aroid. This is very high quality bark and keeps doing its job. Highly recommend!!

Perfect for my potted Orchids. I was unsure what size bark to get but suggest you buy Medium size because big enough to cover roots but small enough to put plenty into a 6" pot. Mine arrived with some moisture in the plastic bag so I opened, spread bark out & let bark dry well before using so as not to mold. Happy with purchase.

Wouldn’t use any other bark!

I use it for every orchid and in my soil mixes that need to hold a bit of moisture and needy an airy mix. Breaks down slowly and the plants love it !

Very happy with this bark , perfect size. I am using it with my Orchids. Super Happy, will purchase again.

Easy and healthy for plants specific for orchids

These are pebble sized bark that are firm and dry out of the package. No rotting, shredded bits or the type of dust associated with it breaking down. Night and day better than what I got at the big box store. I am ordering again and have good faith it should last me well. I soaked and rinsed 3x and then potted up my orchids after trimming dead roots, cleaning dried leaf residue off the main stem and addressing any possible rot. I only have phals right now. I've been growing orchids on and off for the last 20 years. These current ones I have had over 5 years and they put on a huge show in the winter.

This is the best pine bark I’ve found out there. Some of the bark I get from my local garden center is full of mites… Which is not really a problem because they don’t hurt the plants at all… But sometimes you don’t want little mites or springtails running all over your soil, and this bark is the best way to avoid that. I’m addicted to the smell too. Heavenly.
