So why use Orchid Bark?
Orchid Bark is an additive for aeration. Your plants need air, just like us humans! This type of additive is great not only for orchids but also other plants that prefer quick draining yet moisture retentive soil, such as aroids. Plus, having a chunkier soil mix will promote fatter stronger roots, instead of super fine roots, that are similar to hair like strands.
