Orchiata is a standalone orchid growing substrate that can be used directly from the bag for potting and re-potting orchids, produced from the finest quality, 100% pure New Zealand Pinus radiata bark. Pinus radiata is sourced from renewable, man-made forests ensuring availability into the future. New Zealand Pinus radiata is a hard and stable bark compared to other pine species; however, it needs to be processed from its raw state. Our unique natural process creates a high quality, stable, long lasting, toxin free, consistent growing substrate available in different sizes for your specific growing needs. Our process allows Orchiata to hold water and nutrients on the outside layer of each chip, as well as creating a slightly rough surface for roots to anchor to. Pathogens do not survive this process; however beneficial micro-organisms remain. Growers' have reported that frequent re-potting is not necessary, as potted plants have been known to remain in excellent condition in excess of 10 years. It is available in five convenient sizes: Ex Small (1/8" 4-6mm), Small (3/8" 6-9mm), Medium (1/2" 9-12mm), Large ¾" 12-18mm) and Ex Large (1" 18-25mm).

This product is excellent for small or young orchids.
I also use it to top off repotted larger orchids. Very clean and consistent in size. This purchase was to see if it was something I would like and I do very much. But it is not very good value-wise. I ordered the same product/brand in the 40 Liter size which is equivalent to 10.58 gallons. At the gallon price it would cost $184.18. Amazon price for 40 liter is $63! So I am getting a lot of bark for 1/3 the cost. It doesn't go bad and I will be repotting for many years.

Highly recommended! very easy to use.
I had heard about Orchiata and since it was time to re-pot quite a few orchids I decided to give it a try. I'm not one to rave about a product, but I don't think I will be using anything else in the future. Easy to use, no need to wet it before using. After about 6 weeks I am seeing better growth than I have in years...catts, encyclia, schomburgkia, dendrobium, among others in small greenhouse in Houston area. Highly recommended.

Best bark ever
Love this bark. I purchased for my orchids. It smells amazing, and I especially like that it is all uniform, so it makes potting so much easier as it fit perfectly in between roots and keeps plant well secured and steady. I am definitely sticking to orchiata bark for all my orchid potting needs.

Very uniform bark
I like this bark for mixing potting mix for my aroids. The bark is very uniform in size and seems high-quality. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because for the amount that you get, the price is high. Otherwise a great product!
