Better-Gro Orchid Bark - Premium Grade Orchid Potting Medium for Potting, Repotting, Root Development, and Water Retention, Ideal for Phalaenopsis, Epiphytic Orchids, and Tropical Plants - 4 Quarts

I use this in all my plants, and it’s been a game changer—especially for pothos and monstera. I mix it with soil and perlite to create a well-draining medium that keeps my plants healthy and mold-free. The bark is thick, clean, and well-mixed, making it super easy to work with even for beginners. Out of all the orchid barks I’ve tried, this one is hands down my favorite!

Great value, I use it in a homemade aroid mix and I’ve had no issues. 2 bags for the price offered is amazing, and I will be ordering again. Perfect sized chunks

Use this along with a few other components to make a potting mix for my houseplants. Great product!

Seems ok but I think the bark could be a bit smaller. My orchids dry out quickly so I have to soak them every few days.

Best orchid bark I’ve found to mix with my potting soil.

Plenty of bark. I was surprised how big the bag was until it arrived. My orchids seem to like it and the bark does disintegrate and provide some nutrients. My indoor orchids bloom twice a year and I only use this bark.

10/10 recommend. if you don’t have the money to splurge on bark - this is absolutely great quality & AFFORDABLE bark. because - & now i don’t know about you but - i’d much rather spend less & get excellent quality bark. it’s a no-brainer really.i add this bark (or the other bettergro orchid bark that has the charcoal + chunky perlite pieces) to my potting mix that i make myself. i use essentially the same mix (a potting mix + bark + perlite + charcoal + worm castings) for my succulents (i add lava rock &/or sand for them, but i’ve also used the exact same mix with excellent results) & tropical plants - but with my succulents i like to cut the bark into smaller (maybe nickel sized) pieces; my tropical plants get the larger pieces, depending on the size of the pot, of course.this is why i really like this bark. there’s nice big pieces if you need them but you can also make them into whatever size you want/need. does it take more time? sure. but if you’re like me.. then your plant babies are worth it. i’d rather buy bark that’s too big rather than too small. there’s a lot more you can do with bigger pieces.the biggest thing though - this bark is always really great quality. i’ve never gotten a bag that i’ve been disappointed with. there are other brands (i won’t mention names, but the typical cheap brand) and their bark is always… wet… & almost kind of soggy… mushy…falls apart easily - it just seems to be breaking down immediately. i know bark isn’t going to last forever. but if i pot up an orchid, i expect the bark to hold out for AT the VERY LEAST a year, but closer to two really. the other brand didnt even last a year. i’ve had a couple of my phalaenopsis orchids in this bettergro bark + charcoal + perlite + long fibered sphagnum moss for a year; succulents & tropical plants are in their pots for sometimes 2 years; i never have to repot because the bark is quickly deteriorating & not doing its job - with bettergro bark, i always repot because the plant’s outgrown the pot.i recently moved from VA to FL & because it’s so humid here i’m wanting to repot my plants; get the LFSM out of my orchid mix - & i came to amazon to find mybettergro bark! seriously - if you’re on the fence about bark for your orchids or tropical plants, i’m telling you, you won’t be disappointed with this bark. the quality.. i was honestlysurprised. i’ve used expensive brands & honestly, i prefer bettergro bark.. & price has very little to do with it.try it out. you won’t be disappointed.just an extra thought - i wish i could get the dendrobium mix by bettergro! i never see it in stores & can’t find it on amazon.

My favorite orchid bark. Perfect size and smells great. I have been buying over a year and will continue
