Largish bark chips and they smell wonderful. It's my understanding that fir bark is the preferred choice for orchids. Decent sized bag. Not cheap but excellent quality.

I kept buying bark and it kept arriving looking like sawdust or mulch. Nothing you would expect when buying orchid bark. I finally decided to try this brand. I bought this and it was absolutely perfect. Will definitely be buying this on the regular. I cannot stress enough for those that want orchid bark for chunky soil, this is actually chunky. D see

Very pleased with this purchase. The quantity is good for the price. I am using it to mix my own medium for my plants to cater to their individual needs vs buying pre-made stuff. Allows excess water to drain quickly but helps retain moisture these babies need to thrive. Easy to use, functions as intended. I am happy with the look and feel (and SMELL) of this product. My plants seem very happy and healthy.

The bark is a good size and looks like it's high quality. Unfortunately my bag must have had a small hole because there were some bark powder in the shipping box. The bag also had fungus gnats flying around the bark when I opened it. I'm going to leave my plant outside a while so the gnats don't invade my home.

It's blooming! My Christmas cactus hasn't bloomed for a couple years and now it's blooming! The only thing I changed was adding SuperMoss orchid bark to the top. When I report it in the next couple years, I will add more SuperMoss to the entire pot. But for now, this superior product is the answer I've been looking for. I looked everywhere in brick and mortar stores and couldn't find a good one or one that was reasonably priced. This one checked both boxes. When I started researching why mine did not bloom, I found that orchid potting bark mimics the plant's natural environment of growing on trees. It creates soil pores or air pockets so that the cactus can naturally breathe. The orchid bark also prevents root rot and disease by not allowing water to sit in the pot. Another benefit is this product absorbs the water and then releases it slowly to the plant. It will slowly decompose through the plant's long life, which in return will provide organic nutrients to the cactus. SuperMoss is by far better than the brick and mortar choices. I'll purchase more soon and will start any new plants with a combination of soil, orchid bark and other mediums.

Excellent product! Great for making your own chunky potting soil. Will purchase again. Its a good amount for the price. Pieces are 1-2 inches big on average.

Used to repot my orchid collection. Product was just as advertised and fast delivery. Pieces (little nuggets) averaged 1/4” - 1/2” and fit nicely in the perforated pots without spilling out yet holding some moisture for plants. I mixed in some old orchid mix I had from another brand that was far too small to use in its own, just to use it up. I’ll definitely buy again when I need to repot.
