Review: Clean, healthy, smells good, nice results - This is lovely stuff. I have three phals, one mini, all of which were gifts, and all came, as usual, in very unsuitable potting medium. They were suffering, but flowering so beautifully, I was reluctant to repot, but the state of the roots was so awful I just had to. I've bought commercial orchid medium before, but this is so much nicer! It smells rich but not mushroomy like the other stuff, and has chips of a soft moisture retaining substance. The pieces are fairly small, so there is plenty of air for the roots to breathe and grow. I tested the retention by soaking a few spoonfuls then spreading them on cardboard, and it holds moisture really well. In the past when I've repotted, I've always lost blooms, but not this time. I had to cut a ton of roots and fully expected to lose the flowers but a fortnight later it's not happening, and the leaves are joyfully plump and standing taller. I don't know if it's this new medium but I'm definitely going to buy this again. Highly recommended.
Review: Perfect. - It's great and does the job, really helps to aireate the soil and prevents root rot. It was also mixed with a decent amount of pearlite. I used this mix to create my own potting mix for a wide range of plants and all are doing well as it supports healthy root growth. It looks like it won't be enough but actually is a good amount for the price and quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall Good Product
*by B***H on 25 February 2024*

I have been using this product for a while, having kept orchids for around 8 years and never had and problems and all orchids are flourishing using this product. The bark chips are quite small so this is probably better for smaller/younger orchids. Retains more moisture than larger bark so be careful not to over water. bark has always arrived slightly damp, delivery has always been prompt.
