Great variety

Very pleased with this Orchiata Bark. Using it in a mix for my Hoyas, really like the different options available, much better than what is available to me locally.

Quality orchid supplies

My orchids roots have been rotting away with all the wet weather so I was pretty pleased to find this top quality orchid bark to repot them out of my old decomposed home-made mix. It all arrived very promptly and drains really well.
