Know before you buy
Orchids are epiphytes, meaning they grow on trees rather than in the ground. Douglas Fir bark provides the chunky, airy structure necessary for their roots to breathe and drain quickly, preventing the root rot that often occurs in dense, moisture-retaining potting soils.
No, this medium is 100% natural and is not heat-treated or baked. This preserves the organic integrity of the bark, which helps maintain the beneficial environment orchids require to thrive.
Because this mix is designed for fast drainage, you will likely need to water more frequently than you would with a dense soil. Monitor the bark; when it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Yes, its excellent drainage and oxygenation properties make it a great choice for other epiphytic plants like bromeliads or anthuriums. It is also frequently used in floral arrangements and craft projects where a natural, textured filler is needed.
The resealable packaging prevents the bark from drying out excessively or becoming contaminated with dust and debris between uses. Keeping the bag sealed helps maintain the natural moisture balance of the medium until you are ready to repot.
