100% larch bark 15-25 mm, ideal for ensuring optimal growth for all epiphytic orchids, i.e., those orchids that have aerial roots.
Bark, in addition to anchoring the plant, ensures correct oxygenation, aeration, and drainage, recreating the ideal habitat for these orchids that do not live on the ground in nature, but anchored to trees.
It is suitable for Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Cattleya, Vanda.

How to use
It is recommended to repot only when plants are too large for their containers or when the substrate begins to degrade.
The optimal period for repotting coincides with vegetative awakening, when new shoots are 2 cm long and the tips of new roots are still green.
TIPS FOR CORRECT REPOTTING
-
Choose a pot 3-5 cm larger in diameter than the previous one.
-
Remove the plant from the pot, clean the roots, remove the dry sheaths of the pseudobulbs and the withered parts of the rhizome, cutting off the oldest end.
-
Place a layer of BARK, insert the plant, and fill the pot so that the collar is 1-2 cm below the rim of the pot.
-
Place the plant away from direct light and water sparingly (one or two mists per day) until it resumes normal growth. Then bring it back to light, water, and fertilize, taking into account the needs of the species and respecting the doses and timings indicated on the packaging.
