How far does one bag go?
Every large bag holds at least 600 grams of my hand mixed orchid bark. I weighed it out pot by pot so you know exactly what you’re getting:
- 3 inch pot: about 75 grams of mix, so one bag fills about 8 pots
- 4 inch pot: about 180 grams of mix, so one bag fills about 3 pots
- 5 inch pot: about 300 grams of mix, so one bag fills 2 pots
Every medium bag holds at least 375 grams of my hand mixed orchid bark. I weighed it out pot by pot so you know exactly what you’re getting:
- 3 inch pot: about 75 grams of mix, so one bag fills about 5 pots
- 4 inch pot: about 180 grams of mix, so one bag fills about 2 pots
- 5 inch pot: about 300 grams of mix, so one bag fills 1 pot, with enough left over for a 3 inch pot
Every small bag holds at least 175 grams of my hand mixed orchid bark. I weighed it out pot by pot so you know exactly what you’re getting:
- 3 inch pot: about 75 grams of mix, so one bag fills about 2 pots
- 4 inch pot: about 180 grams of mix, so one bag fills about 1 pot once your orchid’s roots are in place
- 5 inch pot: about 300 grams of mix, so for a 5 inch pot I recommend a medium or large bag
These numbers are for an empty pot filled with mix alone. Once your orchid’s roots are in there, you’ll use less, so most repots will stretch your bag even further.

Excellent orchid mix. I love the addition of charcoal.
My orchids are thriving!
I like the mix of this compared to what's available in the location store. It seems it will allow better circulation for the orchid. I just wish it said how big a bag it was and about how many plants you could repot with it. I would have ordered another bag as I ran out.
Janelle,
My apologies. That is definitely something I a working on getting on the site the next few weeks. It was a simple source of information I failed to add to the listings. I'm sure it was frustrating running out. Thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback.

Never used it. I am excited to start my journey on caring for orchids.
Hello Sandra,
Don't be shy reaching out if you have any questions or need guidance on repotting your orchid. Thanks for your support.
Great
Was open and had moisture in the bag.
Thanks for taking the time to review my product. Sorry to hear the bark didn't arrive in satisfactory condition. It looks like your Premium Orchid Bark took a hit in transit, which caused the bag to pop open. I try to give people as much value for their money, so I may have over packed it a bit. My apologies.
The moisture you're seeing is from the rinsing process, which removes the dust that can clog your orchids' vellum. It shouldn't have arrived wet, but the bark itself is perfect for use right out of the bag. Please check your email for additional information about your order.
Thanks again for you order,
Randy
