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

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, but 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. This 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 in excess of 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).

Specialty Orchid Medias from New Zealand are available in five convenient sizes of bark, ranging from 3/8" to 1", in three bag sizes: 1 Gallon, 2.5 Gallons, and 9 Gallons. It is important to note that the one-gallon and 2.5-gallon sizes do not come in factory bags; they are re-bagged into the appropriate size.

The Pinus radiata bark used in Orchiata is sourced from renewable, man-made forests, ensuring a reliable supply for the future. The bark is processed using a unique natural method that creates a high-quality, stable, and long-lasting growing substrate. This process also ensures that the substrate is free from toxins and pathogens, while still allowing beneficial micro-organisms to thrive.

One of the key features of Orchiata is its ability to hold water and nutrients on the outside layer of each bark chip. This, combined with the slightly rough surface, provides an ideal environment for orchid roots to anchor and grow. Growers have reported that potted plants can remain in excellent condition for over 10 years, reducing the need for frequent re-potting.

The availability of five convenient sizes, from Ex Small to Ex Large, allows growers to choose the perfect substrate for their specific growing needs. Whether you are starting a new orchid collection or repotting an established one, Orchiata has a size that will suit your requirements.

In conclusion, Orchiata is a high-quality, sustainable, and versatile orchid growing substrate that offers a range of benefits for orchid growers. Its unique natural processing, wide selection of sizes, and long-lasting performance make it a top choice for orchid enthusiasts around the world.
