Orchiata Classic

The Classic grade features a particle size of 6-9 mm, making it ideal for medium-sized orchids like Cattleyas, Oncidiums, and young Phalaenopsis. It provides the perfect balance of aeration and moisture retention for these root systems.

Because the bark is aged and specifically processed to resist breakdown, it maintains its structure significantly longer than standard fir barks. You can typically expect to go two to three years between repotting, depending on your watering habits and the specific needs of your orchid variety.

No, Orchiata is ready to use straight out of the bag. It is already pH-balanced and free of the dust and debris often found in lower-quality potting mixes, so you can pot your plants immediately without extra preparation.

Yes, the structure of the New Zealand pine bark is designed to hold moisture while still allowing for excellent airflow. This creates a consistent wet/dry cycle that prevents the roots from sitting in stagnant water, which is key to preventing root rot.

Raw pine bark is naturally acidic, which can sometimes inhibit nutrient uptake in orchids. This product undergoes a proprietary aging process that neutralizes that acidity, ensuring your plants can absorb fertilizers and nutrients more efficiently.
