Mango Stem Bark – 250 g

Give your orchids a well-aerated growing medium with natural dried Mango Stem Bark. Supplied as convenient bark pieces, it can be added to an orchid potting mix to create spaces around the roots and support drainage. Its textured structure helps keep the growing medium loose, allowing air to circulate around orchid roots.

Carefully cleaned and dried, this bark is suitable for use as a component of orchid potting mixes, particularly for orchids that prefer an airy growing medium. Combine it with other suitable potting materials according to your orchid variety, growing conditions and watering routine.

How to Use for Orchids

1. Prepare the bark: Inspect the pieces and remove any loose dust. Rinse before use, then soak to help wet the bark evenly. Drain excess water.
2. Create your mix: Blend with suitable orchid-growing materials, such as horticultural charcoal, perlite or coconut husk chips. Choose the combination based on your orchid’s needs.
3. Pot gently: Place the mix around the roots without packing it tightly. Keep the plant’s crown above the growing medium.
4. Ensure drainage: Use an orchid pot with adequate drainage holes.
5. Adjust watering: Check the moisture in the mix before watering. Watering frequency will depend on the orchid variety, climate and other materials in the blend.
