Orchid Bark | 100% Pure New Zealand Pinus Radiata | Power Plus 1/2" to 3/4" Organic Potting Bark for Aeration and Longevity

Love it! Best orchid bark out on the market!!

This is high quality orchiata bark for sure. It doesn’t break down quickly which is a good sign. I will say often don’t order this small of a size but it works just fine in my mixes. I grow mostly outdoor and mostly cattleya and dendrobium. What I like too is that this bark comes very dry where as others I get from the big box will often be moist. I think that’s a big factor in how long it takes for this to decay. All in all it’s good bark but I just use it sparingly because it’s about twice the price of the other barks I use. I save this for my favorite plants or the ones that tend to be fussy when repotted so I can lessen the frequency.

Really like these Orchid bark chips perfect additive for my substrate , Expensive but so far so good

Works great.

Arrived musty odor, dusty with mold. Returned it. Wouldn’t use with valuable orchids.

Overall quality is pretty good - size distribution is good and min dust. Price point is high for the amount received.

I have tried so many orchid barks. This is the best by far. It is not dusty and doesn't smell like chemicals . It is the right size and perfect for various species of orchids . Water drains perfectly and the product airates wonderfully.

This is the stuff you want if you're potting up small orchids. It's 3/8th to 1/2 inch. In the photo, the pot size is 3" for reference. The bark is small enough to be able to work around the roots in a little pot. Pieces are irregular in shape, creating air pockets for the roots to grow into. Orchiata lasts a long time on the self as long as it's dry. I rinse it and then soak it overnight before I use it. From this seller, I got a full bag, factory sealed, no leaks or rips in the packaging. It was over-wrapped with plastic for extra protection. The bark inside was fresh looking and smelling, not broken down. My old bag was a different design from a couple years ago, so I know this was fresher stock that what I had been using.

Good
