Dalton's Orchiata Bark Extra Large, 1 Gallon

Orchiata is a standalone orchid growing substrate produced from the finest quality, 100% pure New Zealand Pinus radiata bark. This bark is sourced from renewable, man-made forests, ensuring availability into the future. Pinus radiata is a hard and stable bark compared to other pine species, but it 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, consistent growing substrate available in different sizes to meet 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).

This specialty orchid bark from New Zealand is available in three bag sizes: 1 Gallon, 2.5 Gallons, and 9 Gallons. Please note that the one-gallon and 2.5-gallon sizes do not come in the factory bag; instead, they are re-bagged into the appropriate size.
