Dalton's of New Zealand Orchiata Bark Medium - 35 Liter Bag

Orchiata is a standalone orchid growing substrate produced from the finest quality, 100% pure New Zealand Pinus radiata bark, which can be used directly from the bag for potting and re-potting orchids. Pinus radiata is sourced from renewable, man-made forests, ensuring availability into the future. Compared to other pine species, New Zealand Pinus radiata is a hard and stable bark that needs to be processed from its raw state. The unique natural process used to create Orchiata results in a high-quality, stable, long-lasting, toxin-free, and consistent growing substrate available in different sizes to suit your specific growing needs.

The 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, but 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 for over 10 years.

Orchiata is available in five convenient sizes: Ex Small (1/8" 4-6mm), Small (3/8" 6-9mm), Medium (1/2" 9-12mm), Large (3/4" 12-18mm), and Ex Large (1" 18-25mm). These specialty orchid media from New Zealand come in three bag sizes: 1 Gallon, 2.5 Gallons, and 9 Gallons. It's important to note that the 1 Gallon and 2.5 Gallon sizes do not come in factory bags; they are re-bagged into the appropriate size.
