Application Guide

For Repotting Orchids: Carefully remove the orchid from its existing container and gently remove old or deteriorated growing media from around the roots. Inspect the roots and remove dead or damaged material as appropriate before repotting.

Planting: Choose a container with adequate drainage and position the orchid at the appropriate height. Gently work the medium orchid bark around the roots, allowing the bark pieces to fill open spaces without tightly compacting the material.

Watering: Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain freely from the container. Because medium bark provides an open, well-draining growing environment, watering frequency should be adjusted based on the orchid variety, container, temperature, humidity, and growing conditions.

Refreshing the Growing Medium: Orchid bark naturally breaks down over time. Repot or replace the growing medium when the bark begins to deteriorate, compact, or no longer provides adequate drainage and airflow.

Helpful Tip: Medium-grade orchid bark is a great choice for orchids that prefer increased airflow and fast drainage around their roots. Always select a bark grade and watering schedule appropriate for the specific orchid variety.
