Key Features

Uni-Gro® Orchid Bark Fine has several qualities that make it perfect for orchids and other delicate plants. These characteristics contribute to strong root health while minimizing watering and maintenance for growers.

  1. Fine Grade Texture: This orchid bark has a fine texture that works particularly well with plants that have delicate roots, such as seedlings and small clones. It encourages ideal root development by ensuring the correct air and moisture balance.
  2. Superior Drainage and Aeration: Bark's unique particle size leaves gaps for air to flow and for water to drain through. This prevents waterlogging and provides roots with the oxygen they need to grow.
  3. Moisture Retention Balance: Uni-Gro® Orchid Bark Fine balances moisture retention by keeping roots wet, but not waterlogged. This balance is important in preventing root rot and encouraging balanced plant growth.

Description

Uni-Gro® Orchid Bark Fine has been formulated especially for orchids. It is made of 100 percent fir bark that is clean, dust free and uniform in size containing no insects or unwanted moisture. This product is ideal for fragile seedlings, mericlones, and mature, fine rooted orchids.

Benefits for Growers

Uni-Gro® Orchid Bark Fine offers many advantages to growers, whether they are growing a few plants or have a broad growing operation. These benefits combine to help the plants grow more vigorously and robustly, with little effort.

  • Improved Root Health: The high quality bark resists compaction for good drainage and aeration to form optimal root environment fostering healthy root development. Strong plants begin with healthy roots.
  • Less Maintenance: As the bark doesn’t break down as quick so user have to repot less often. This helps growers to manage their plants with less labor over time, making the plants less high maintenance.
  • Versatile: Perfect for orchids, but can also be used with other epiphytes, including bromeliads and aroids. So, it is suitable for several types of plants.

Usage and Application

For the best results with Uni-Gro® Orchid Bark, here are a few tips for proper usage. Here are a couple of steps and techniques for using it most effectively.

  1. Preparing the Bark: Before removing the bark, check it to make sure it is clean and free of debris. The user can also let it soak in water for 10–15 minutes to rehydrate it before potting.
  2. Potting Tips: When potting fragile orchids or other delicate plants, fill pot two-thirds full with bark, and carefully set plant in the pot. Plant the orchid's crown just above the bark to avoid rot for mature orchids.
  3. Watering Guidelines: Water well so that the water flows out of the portholes. Let the bark dry just a bit between waterings to emulate the natural drying cycle in which orchids thrive.

Customer Tips

For best results with Uni-Gro® Orchid Bark Fine, consider the following:

  • Pot Choice: Go for pots that provide good drainage to avoid water collection. Mesh pots or slotted baskets are good options to allow air to the roots.
  • Fertilization: Use a balanced, water soluble fertilizer at half strength to prevent salt buildup in the bark, which can damage plant roots.
  • Repotting: Re bark every 12-18 months to avoid the bark breaking down and losing water and air retention.
  • Monitor Moisture Levels: The bark when lifted, should feel moist. When the pot feels light, it’s time to water. It prevents over or under watering.

Final Thoughts

Uni-Gro® 8qt Orchid Bark Fine is a general-purpose growing medium for orchids and other epiphytic plants. Fine fir bark helps balance air flow, water retention and air circulation to maintain proper strength and potency of developing plants. This product is great for both the small hobbyist and the commercial grower.
