Orchids Bark Substrate is a top-quality material specifically designed for orchids. Available in two sizes, 9-12mm and 12-18mm, it caters to different orchid types based on their root size. The 9-12mm size is suitable for oncidium, paphiopedilum, cambria, dendrobium, phragmipedium, and orchids with fine roots, while the 12-18mm size is ideal for phalaenopsis, cattleya, angraecum, and orchids with larger roots. Each bag contains enough material to repot 6 pots with a 12cm diameter. The measuring cup provided may not always be accurate, as it’s essential to consider the number of roots that will fit into the pot along with the bark. Elevate your orchid care routine with Orchids Bark Substrate!
Safe and fast shipping with DHL Express
Starting from 19.05.2025, our shipping rate will be updated to CHF 18.90, with free shipping for orders over CHF 160.00.
We have chosen to continue shipping with DHL Express, despite the general increase in transportation and material costs.
We do this because we believe that orchids deserve special treatment: a reliable, fast and safe service is the only way to ensure that they arrive at your home in perfect condition.

Each shipment requires specific materials, manual attention and tailor-made preparation, to protect the plant from shock and transport stress.
