Go to any Lowes store, look for Better Gro brand orchid bark. I don't use their "Special Orchid Mix", or anyone else's mix, preferring either just the straight bark, or blending in my own additions.

You can buy more expensive bark (IMO anything from Repotme is wildly over-priced), but this bark functions well, and stays in good condition for 3 years or more.

psst - I'm not Neil! I just quoted him. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an amazing science communicator and astrophysicist. Worth looking up.
