Description

Our bark chips are pieces of natural pine bark. Laid on the surface, they protect the potting soil from the sun and from drying out. Mixed into the potting mix, they provide the air orchids and epiphytic plants need.

What they do

  • A natural mulch: the potting soil stays cool for longer and you water less often.
  • An airy mix for orchids, Anthuriums and bromeliads.
  • A natural touch at the base of your plants.

How to use them

  • As a mulch: a 2 to 3 cm layer on the surface of the pot.
  • Orchids: as a potting medium, on their own or with coco chips. For a ready-to-use mix, choose our orchid mix.
  • Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium: about a quarter of the mix, for more air.
For orchids, soak the bark for about ten minutes before repotting.

Which size should I choose?

The 1 L bag is enough to mulch two or three pots or repot one orchid. The 5 L bag suits large planters and works out cheaper per litre.

Frequently asked questions

Does bark attract insects? Rarely, as long as it doesn't stay soggy. Let the surface dry out between waterings. Does it need replacing? It breaks down slowly. In an orchid mix, replace it roughly every two years, when you repot. Packed at our Rabat studio. Delivery anywhere in Morocco for 40 MAD, payment on delivery, or collection from the studio at 6 Rue Zemmour, Aviation (Tuesday to Saturday, 10am–6pm).
