However, the primary mistake people make when growing orchids is overwatering their plants or using the wrong potting substrate, causing excess water to build up, which means the roots are waterlogged.\r\rMelcourt Orchid Bark Chips are specifically designed for orchids, a plant species that needs to absorb moisture through photosynthetic roots. This premium branded mix is perfect for all types of orchids, including Cattleyas, which love a bark that allows plenty of drainage and abundant natural light.\r\u003ch2\u003eWhy Coarse Grade Bark is the Most Suitable Orchid Potting Mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akkin.co.uk\/\"\u003eAK Kin Garden Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e often recommends \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akkin.co.uk\/shop-by-brand\/melcourt\/\"\u003eMelcourt\u003c\/a\u003e Orchid Bark as a superb, chunky bark mix with particles of between 5mm and 15mm, which provide the ideal conditions for orchid plants to extract moisture while allowing drainage that stops the orchid roots from developing rot. Fast drainage properties are essential, alongside moderately high humidity, to replicate the natural environments where orchids grow.\r\rThe key is to pay attention to your orchids to ensure they are healthy, with thick, rubbery leaves that are green and unmottled, robust, bright colour blooms, and white aerial roots with shiny green tips – the potting mix should be neither completely dry nor saturated, but just moist.\r\u003ch2\u003eOrdering Melcourt Orchid Bark for Orchid Plants\u003c\/h2\u003e\rCustomers highly rate our fantastic coarse-grade mixing bark for orchids with a 5* rating over 1,418 reviews.
