🪴 How to Use – Recommended Method

  1. Soak the mix overnight to fully rehydrate the bark and flush any fines created during transit.

  2. Clean off any old growing media from the roots before repotting.
  3. Place a thin layer of Kiwi Orchid Bark Potting Blend in the bottom of the pot.

  4. Position the plant centrally, ensuring roots sit below the rim.

  5. Gently fill around the roots with the bark blend, tapping lightly to settle—do not compact.

  6. Water thoroughly after potting.

  7. For ongoing nutrition, apply a quality fertiliser at the recommended rates as directed.


🌏 Bark – Product of New Zealand

No rinsing required apart from flushing fines created during freight handling.

Aged (composted) Pinus Radiata bark can tend to degrade and change pH quickly, making for an unstable root environment and causing the need for regular repotting. This non-aged bark is stable for longer meaning your plants should thrive!
