The Perfect Bark for Orchids (Tips to Choose the Right One)

Orchid Bark as a Potting Media One commonly used potting media for orchids is tree bark. With its low cost and easy accessibility, bark—fir bark, more specifically—is one of the most used potting media, only losing rank to leca pebbles. Whether Fir bark, Douglas bark, or Pine bark, it doesn’t really matter when it comes to orchids. The only bark I recommend staying away from is Redwood bark. It’s not that common now anyway, since a vast majority of the redwood has sadly been depleted from the landscape…and because it contains toxins that can be harmful to household pets. All other kinds of bark inside the potting medium are widely accepted.
