Orchid Potting Mix Orchid Bark, Mix Pine Bark and Perlite, Good Drainage and Water Retention (2 Quart)

This is the second time I've ordered this orchid bark. It's chunky and any orchid I've potted in it has thrived, but it is more pricey than your average orchid bark. If you're only looking to put a single orchid in a brand new batch of potting medium, it's definitely enough. I'd say there's enough for a repot-and-a-half. Not enough for two 6-inch pots though. You do get what you pay for in quality. I generally have to water abut twice a week in the first few months of using this, just until it breaks down enough to retain moisture better. But it depends on your light and temperature, too. Go by the color of the roots, you can't go wrong with that. Would buy again.

I’ve purchased this orchid substrate several times and it’s consistently excellent. Great quality, retains moisture well, and promotes healthy root growth. I’ll definitely keep buying it.

great product for orchids easy to use/

I couldn't find the usual bag of Orchid Bark that I use so I purchased Doter Orchid mix in the 1 quart bag. It is not enough to repot more than 2 4-5" pots but I actually love this stuff because of the pieces of bark that were in the bag were very small. I don't know if it will always arrive like that or if it was the bottom of the barrel so to speak but it was perfect for repotting a keiki and a mini orchard. The small chunks of bark are easier to settle around roots than the large chunks in a typical bag of bark.

This is a nice orchid mix for mini orchids because the wood bark is not bigger then the plant and has a nice mix of bark and chips sprinkled with some perlite to hold water. I know some of the reviewers have stated this was pricey but the thought of buying a bigger bag for the same price which either the excess is thrown out or lost in the house is also a waste. So if you need enough orchid mix to re pot two small 3.5 inch pots to 4.5' pots this is for you.

I must have read the label wrong just wasn't expecting it to be tiny wasn't enough to use for my orchids. But it is good quality

Good product for orchid care

I had to re-pot an orchid and needed a nice mix and this fits the bill perfectly. I like the fact that it has perlite in it for water retention, but it's not too much for an orchid. Provides a nice mix of bark. I only needed enough for one pot so I was happy with the amount. It is a bit spendy if you needed to repot multiple plants, though.
