Orchiata order...is the bark ok? Female
Default Orchiata order...is the bark ok?

Just ordered Orchiata bark via Amazon. Ordered what was labeled as Large grade; smaller than what I had picked out of the BetterGrow bark I was using. Not only that, but the bag had Obvious Moisture in it, bark was very dark, and some spots that are suspicious for mold. 😞

Maybe should have kept original BG bark? Thought I was upgrading to a premium type; indeed, after only a few weeks the BG already seemed softer. I also thought I was opting for bigger pieces, so my B. little stars would have tons of aeration (short of being mounted); guess I should have ordered the Extra Large grade! (It Is a seedling/young plant though, so maybe ok for the next year or so?)

Lightly soaked the Orchiata for about 5 min then rinsed majority of dust off. Ran distilled water thru pot once reported my orchid.

Rest of bark I have drying out on a towel, then will rebag in gal ziploc bags.

So did I make a mistake at any point? Will it be ok? Obviously I won't be Watering any time soon.

Thanks.
