Orchid bark is an excellent organic aeration medium to add into substrate blends. From fine to large it can be used in bioactive grow bins and chunky aroid mixes respectively, with endless possibilities in-between. We even grow some orchids exclusively in bark. Just be careful not to overwater as water retention is long-lasting and a dry surface in pots can be deceiving.

Fine Grade: 2-7mm

    Please note: we cannot be held liable for any packaging costs should the original packaging be discarded.

    *Unfortunately we cannot accept returns of undamaged plants as these are perishable items and are not saleable upon return. If a plant is damaged, we will compensate for this as per our live arrival guarantee.

  • When placing your order, you can choose from three dispatch speeds to suit your needs: Economy (prepared and shipped within 4-5 days), Standard (3-5 days), or Express (dispatched the very next day). Please keep in mind that "dispatch" refers to the time it takes our team to prepare and pack your items before handing them over to the courier, not the total delivery time.

Customers praised this fine-grade bark for its excellent quality, accurate sizing, and great value. Many use it for custom potting mixes. Reviews highlight "no mold," "not soggy," and pieces "exactly as described." One noted minor moisture and mold, but still recommended it. Fast shipping and sustainable packaging noted.

Great quantity for the price and no mold or white dusty areas. The description of the size of the pieces is exactly as described. I have found that the size described from other sellers are wrong, which leads me to manually cuttinf up each piece for the size I want. I think I am now addicted to mot only ordering plants from growtropicals, but also different substrate materials because I like to make my own mixes depending on what plants need repotting.

Great product, really good quality. I bought to mix more into the other substrates, and this is a good quality bark.
Shipping was quite quick too.

Thankyou

Great little peaces of bark and well packaged, although it came slightly wet and had minor bits of White mould at the bottom, but I generally would recommend this product and the people behind it, thank you

Favourite plant shop

I initially was weary as trying a new online plant shop can be scary but GrowTropicals have exceeded my expectations. My plants were packaged so well and arrived safely. Not to mention they are sustainable!?!?!?!???! Love that. So yeah, I will 100% be ordering again.

My order was delivered fast

My order was delivered fast and the quality of the product is excellent, my only concern was that I ordered fine lava rock and it's not the same as the order before, it's bigger and is like a medium grade maybe a mix up but still 5 stars
