Note: This 2.5 gallon size does not come in the factory bag. They are re-bagged into the appropriate size. The factory only produces 5 liter bags and 35 liter bags Orchiata is a standalone orchid growing substrate that can be used directly from the bag for potting and re-potting orchids. Produced from the finest quality, 100% pure New Zealand Pinus radiata bark sourced from renewable forests ensuring availability into the future. New Zealand Pinus radiata is a hard and stable bark compared to other pine species; however, it needs to be processed from its raw state. Our unique natural process creates a high quality, stable, long lasting, toxin free, consistent growing substrate available in different sizes for your specific growing needs. Our process allows Orchiata to hold water and nutrients on the outside layer of each chip, as well as creating a slightly rough surface for roots to anchor to. Growers' have reported that frequent re-potting is not necessary, as potted plants have been known to remain in excellent condition in excess of 5 years. It is available in five convenient sizes: Ex Small (1/8" 4-6mm), Small (3/8" 6-9mm), Medium (1/2" 9-12mm), Large ¾" 12-18mm) and Ex Large (1" 18-25mm).
