For airy potting soil and healthy roots in orchids, hoyas, bromeliads, etc.!
Orchid bark is a coarse, durable bark fraction that ensures plenty of air around the roots. It is mainly used for orchids, but is also very suitable for hoyas, bromeliads, aroids and other plants that prefer an airy substrate.
Due to its coarse structure, excess water can drain quickly, while sufficient air reaches the roots. This reduces the risk of root rot and keeps roots healthy and active.

Benefits of orchid bark:

• Ensures an airy root environment
  
• Improves drainage
  
• Reduces the risk of root rot
  
• Hardly settles
  
• Suitable for orchids, hoyas, bromeliads, and aroids
  
• Durable and long-lasting
  

Our orchid bark is steam-treated, which minimizes fungi and unwanted organisms. Additionally, the bark decomposes slowly, so the structure of the mixture is preserved for a long time.

Usage

* For orchids: as the main component of the substrate.
* For aroids and tropical houseplants: mix 20-50% into the potting soil.
* For hoyas and epiphytes: combine with pumice, perlite, or sphagnum moss.
* As a top layer: decorative and promotes even evaporation.

In short: orchid bark provides structure, air, and good drainage. It forms the ideal base for plants that naturally grow on trees or require a lot of oxygen around their roots.
