Specialist Range Orchid Bark Compost

This is lovely stuff. I have three phals, one mini, all of which were gifts, and all came, as usual, in very unsuitable potting medium. They were suffering, but flowering so beautifully, I was reluctant to repot, but the state of the roots was so awful I just had to.I've bought commercial orchid medium before, but this is so much nicer! It smells rich but not mushroomy like the other stuff, and has chips of a soft moisture retaining substance. The pieces are fairly small, so there is plenty of air for the roots to breathe and grow. I tested the retention by soaking a few spoonfuls then spreading them on cardboard, and it holds moisture really well.In the past when I've repotted, I've always lost blooms, but not this time. I had to cut a ton of roots and fully expected to lose the flowers but a fortnight later it's not happening, and the leaves are joyfully plump and standing taller. I don't know if it's this new medium but I'm definitely going to buy this again. Highly recommended.

With a little care it is amazing how your orchid will respond to fresh compost and a bigger pot. Quite easy to do, just be patient with soft hands.

I have been using this product for a while, having kept orchids for around 8 years and never had and problems and all orchids are flourishing using this product. The bark chips are quite small so this is probably better for smaller/younger orchids. Retains more moisture than larger bark so be careful not to over water. bark has always arrived slightly damp, delivery has always been prompt.

Delivered on time, great for replanting the orchids
