Description

Orchiata orchid bark is a premium substrate made from New Zealand Pinus radiata bark that is sustainably harvested. During the bark's ageing process, beneficial micro-organisms proliferate and any pathogens are eliminated

Orchiata is carefully graded to produce a uniform and consistent product that is known worldwide for its durability and longevity.

The unique structure of Orchiata orchid bark provides excellent drainage and aeration for orchid roots, helping to prevent root rot and other issues. With a pH of around 5.5-6.5, Orchiata orchid bark is ideal for most orchids and can be used in a variety of growing conditions, making it a versatile option for orchid enthusiasts.

Orchid Bark

I was so happy to find a smaller diameter of bark for my orchids. What I can get from retail suppliers like hardware or gardening stores is too large for my Phalaenopsis orchids. I am so glad I found Dr Greenthumbs and also pleased with the ease of ordering and the time it took to get my order to me.

Exactly what I needed!

After trying to find bark that wasn’t premixed with other substrates I stumbled upon Dr Greenthumbs and it’s now my go to! This bark was exactly what I was looking for, and the shipping was super quick (and also the cheapest of many other options). Can’t recommend enough :)
