It doesn’t break down quickly which is a good sign. I will say often don’t order this small of a size but it works just fine in my mixes. I grow mostly outdoor and mostly cattleya and dendrobium. What I like too is that this bark comes very dry where as others I get from the big box will often be moist. I think that’s a big factor in how long it takes for this to decay. All in all it’s good bark but I just use it sparingly because it’s about twice the price of the other barks I use. I save this for my favorite plants or the ones that tend to be fussy when repotted so I can lessen the frequency. Review: Always the best... - Power Plus is my favorite for my mature Phalanopsis orchids. Just got some mini phals, so I may go down a size when I repot, depending on root size. This is a high quality bark and will last longer in pot than other barks. I rinse the amount needed in a colander just before using. Orchid roots seem to stay healthier with this bark. Like other comments, it's pricey for the amount. If you have a LOT of orchids, fir bark is another good option, more economical. Just not as good in my opinion. Good luck with your orchids. Hope this helped. ## Features - Simplify your repotting – Orchiata orchid bark has proven to last 5+ years without rotting.
