ORCHID BARK ORCHIATA CLASSIC 35L | 6-9MM

Orchiata Classic 6–9mm (35L) is a premium, 100% natural growing medium crafted from renewable New Zealand Pinus radiata bark. Renowned globally by commercial growers and orchid enthusiasts alike, Orchiata bark is specifically processed through a unique, natural aging method to produce a high-performance substrate that encourages robust root development without prematurely breaking down.

The Classic grade features a fine-to-medium grain size (6–9mm), making it ideal for younger plants, seedling repotting, or species that demand high water retention paired with balanced aeration.

Key Features & Benefits

• Natural Aging Process: Unlike raw bark, Orchiata is aged using beneficial micro-organisms to strip away harmful toxins while preserving beneficial nutrients.

• Exceptional Longevity: Hard-wearing Pinus radiata bark resists physical breakdown, allowing your orchids to stay potted for up to 2–3 years without soil compaction.

• Optimal Air & Moisture Balance: Holds essential moisture and nutrients on its outer layer while maintaining an open, airy structure that prevents root rot.

• Ready to Use: Pre-treated and ready right out of the bag; does not require pre-steeping or washing.

• pH Balanced: Naturally buffered to a pH range of 5.5–6.5, ideal for orchid nutrient absorption.
