Small Douglas Fir Bark

Raw Bark Chips • Great for Aeration & Custom Mixes

These small fir bark chips are natural and heat-treated, making them ideal for orchids, tropical mixes, and aroids. Their coarse, porous texture provides excellent drainage and airflow while supporting root health. Because they’re not composted, the chips retain their raw structure—perfect for aeration, though they may initially resist absorbing water.

For best results, pre-soak the bark before use to help it absorb moisture more evenly.

🌿 Benefits

  • Natural, heat-treated Douglas fir bark

  • Great for orchids, tropicals, and well-aerated soil blends

  • Improves drainage and root zone airflow

  • Slow to break down—adds long-term structure

  • Can be used as mulch or topdressing for pots and beds

🌱 How to Use

  • Orchid Mixes – Use alone or combine with moss, perlite, charcoal, or pumice

  • Tropical/Aroid Mixes – Adds chunkiness and prevents compaction
