Fir bark media originally developed by your founder?! Wow, that's something to be proud of considering how successful fir bark is and how common its usage has become. That and coconut husk chips are pretty much all I ever use.

Thanks for the article!

I am always wary of repotting and I am always putting it off and having nightmares of all my orchids dying when I repot. Thanks for the article and it should make a difference , God Willing.

Thank you that is a great piece of information it has helped me ( a newbie) an awful lot and i have bookmarked it for reference as I am sure i will need the information on there more than once, I bought some repitle fir bark today as i couldnt find any near me for orchids they had two types on that was orchid bark and another that said fir bark so I got the fir bark and I will be repotting out of hydroleca and perlite tomorrow morning. I hope I have bought the right bark it wasnt cheap for the sizr of bag really.
