Orchiata -New Zealand Pinus Radiata by Besgrow Daltons

100% pure New Zealand Pinus Radiata Bark. 

Orchiata orchid bark is a premium substrate made from New Zealand Pinus radiata bark that is sustainably harvested. During the bark's ageing process, beneficial micro-organisms proliferate and any pathogens are eliminated. Orchiata is carefully graded to produce a uniform and consistent product that is known worldwide for its durability and longevity.

Its solid bark particles are resistant to chipping and composting, lengthening repotting time. Used by leading commercial orchid growers to grow strong plants with resilient root systems.
