SuperMoss (23114) Orchid Potting Bark, Natural, 4 quarts

I’ve used this SuperMoss orchid potting bark for several plants, and it’s been a solid choice. The bark pieces are clean, well-sized, and provide excellent airflow and drainage, which is especially important for orchids and other plants that don’t like compact soil. The mix feels high quality and doesn’t break down too quickly, helping roots stay healthy over time. It was easy to work with during repotting and didn’t contain a lot of dust or debris like some other bark mixes I’ve tried. Overall, this is a reliable orchid bark that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great for orchids, aroids, and other houseplants that need good drainage. I’d definitely purchase it again and recommend it to other plant owners.

If you’re serious about orchid care or need a premium bark mix for aeration and drainage, SuperMoss Orchid Potting Bark is a fantastic choice. I’ve used many brands over the years, and this one stands out for its high-quality, natural composition, and ideal chunk size—perfect for orchids, aroids, and even reptile habitats! 🌱 Ideal for Orchids & Epiphytic Plants This bark has been a game-changer for my phalaenopsis, cattleya, and dendrobium orchids. The chunky, well-sized pieces provide excellent aeration, allowing roots to breathe while retaining just the right amount of moisture. Unlike some cheaper brands that contain too much dust or small debris, this mix is clean and well-sifted—which means less waste and longer-lasting potting media. 💦 Excellent Drainage to Prevent Root Rot One of the biggest issues with orchids is overwatering, but this bark helps keep moisture levels balanced. It absorbs water without staying soggy, making it ideal for repotting and preventing fungal or bacterial issues. I’ve noticed healthier root growth and fewer problems with root rot since switching to this mix. ✅ Versatile & Long-Lasting Beyond orchids, I’ve used this bark for: ✔ Aroids like monstera, philodendrons & anthuriums ✔ Terrariums & vivariums – great for reptile enclosures ✔ Mulching houseplants & garden beds It holds up remarkably well over time, breaking down much more slowly than lower-quality bark mixes. 🌎 100% Natural & Eco-Friendly I appreciate that this bark is natural, untreated, and free from chemicals—safe for plants, pets, and the environment.

Largish bark chips and they smell wonderful. It's my understanding that fir bark is the preferred choice for orchids. Decent sized bag. Not cheap but excellent quality.

I use this as part of my soil mix for my indoor plants. The bark pieces are nicely sized, as others I've purchased had large chunks.

The bark is a good size and looks like it's high quality. Unfortunately my bag must have had a small hole because there were some bark powder in the shipping box. The bag also had fungus gnats flying around the bark when I opened it. I'm going to leave my plant outside a while so the gnats don't invade my home.

It's blooming! My Christmas cactus hasn't bloomed for a couple years and now it's blooming! The only thing I changed was adding SuperMoss orchid bark to the top. When I report it in the next couple years, I will add more SuperMoss to the entire pot. But for now, this superior product is the answer I've been looking for. I looked everywhere in brick and mortar stores and couldn't find a good one or one that was reasonably priced. This one checked both boxes. When I started researching why mine did not bloom, I found that orchid potting bark mimics the plant's natural environment of growing on trees. It creates soil pores or air pockets so that the cactus can naturally breathe. The orchid bark also prevents root rot and disease by not allowing water to sit in the pot. Another benefit is this product absorbs the water and then releases it slowly to the plant. It will slowly decompose through the plant's long life, which in return will provide organic nutrients to the cactus. SuperMoss is by far better than the brick and mortar choices. I'll purchase more soon and will start any new plants with a combination of soil, orchid bark and other mediums.

Excellent product! Great for making your own chunky potting soil. Will purchase again. Its a good amount for the price. Pieces are 1-2 inches big on average.

I see most people complaining about price for the size, but I didn't use it for planting but instead used it for miniatures. It was exactly what I was looking for with a great amount of size difference to create nice rock formations. Already used it all within 6 months because of how good it is and now am ordering the 4 quart bag from their site because its almost 40$ cheaper then here

I Dislike that the bark chips are so large and do not hold moisture as well as smaller pieces of bark.

80.75 in 3 bag (BAGS) if reading quickly you wouldn’t see the word ‘bag’ is not plural. The bag is very small for the cost $36. I am definitely keeping it because it’s difficult to find orchid bark anywhere.
