Orchiata in Canada
I find a couple of properties of Orchiata beneficial.
One is the particle size uniformity within a grade, as that tends to stay more "open," creating a better environment for the roots.
I am a proponent of frequent watering, so the ability of the material to stay intact and not even start to break down over the time the plant stays in that one pot is a major "plus." Too busy to repot that plant, even though it needs to? No big deal. Just get to it soon.
It also holds water uniformly over its lifetime, once you "break it in." Just about every other brand of bark I've tried wets more easily up front, but becomes more & more soppy as it ages.
Add to those the calcium and magnesium content and its natural inoculation with trichoderma, and it's pretty good.
