Key Benefits
Orchid bark - chunky yet funky

Which types of orchid bark do you use?
This orchid bark mix includes both fir and pine.

How much orchid bark should I use in a terrarium substrate mix?
Naturally, it will depend on what else you’re putting in your substrate, but we recommend anywhere from 20-50%.
Is this material safe for amphibians/reptiles?
We would not recommend this material for animal enclosures due to its pine bark content. In addition, the chunkier particles, if ingested, could be unsuitable for some reptiles and amphibians at risk of impaction.
Always do extensive research into your chosen terrarium pet and its needs before buying.
