DOUGLAS FIR BARK (SMALL) 

These bark chips have been heat-treated and graded to the highest quality standards. These chips create a very porous medium subject to quick drying. It is frequently used for orchids, and other plants that prefer a rapidly drying mix. Fir bark tends to resist water at first, so presoaking them before potting helps to alleviate this.

  • Slow decomposition, can last up to 2 years before needing to be replaced
  • Aerates soil, resists compaction and provides drainage in a substrate mix

APPLICATION 

  • Orchid Substrates: Use alone or in combination with other substrates
