Doter Orchid Potting Mix Orchid Bark, Mix Pine Bark and Perlite, Good Drainage and Water Retention (1 Quart)

I was looking for orchid bark to use in my chunky houseplant mix. This mix has the perfect smaller sized pieces that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. This is the perfect orchid bark if you are looking to make your own chunky houseplant or aroid mix. Big box stores seem to only carry one to two brands of bark that has obnoxiously large pieces that cannot be used smaller pots with starter plants. I can imagine this would be great for orchids as well, but I haven’t personally used it for that yet. The bag I received had practically no dust, so at least the small bag is filled with usable product and no filler. Only complaint is the price for the amount you get. Houseplants as a hobby definitely isn’t cheap, everything is expensive. This is no exception.

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.

I’m new to orchids. Have an orchid that I didn’t take care of well, somehow it didn’t die and I became devoted to reviving him. He’s about a year old and was root bound and in potting soil in the same pot I bought him in. This medium is exactly what orchids need. That being said it’s very very expensive for what it is. The smallest bag is very small and I feel like if you have more than one to repot you could easily make this yourself for much much cheaper. For me doesnr make sense as this is my only orchid, but if you have multiple do this. That being said it filled my whole new pot and so far my orchid is happy. I finally have a flower even. Four stars, because it’s great and works but just too expensive for what it is.

Okay

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.

This is a tiny pack of bark. The quality is okay, it’s a small bark, possibly fir or pine. But you can find bark much more affordable and better quality at a local plant store or through Repotme who sells bark here through Amazon or in their website.

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 potting soil was perfect for my orchids. It was just enough to repot 3 of my small orchids, and refresh their small pots. It had enough vermiculite to be sure they would retain moisture as needed. It was clean and looked like the right amount of mix, size, and was easy to use. I would recommend it.

It is really tiny. I dont know if it is worth more than 70aed.

The bark is alright quality but was only enough to repot 3/4 of a pot for a medium sized orchid.
