Broken down bark?

[estación seca]

The pot and material need to be chosen to suit your environment. I can't use open baskets nor clay pots for most orchids because they dry out too fast in my climate. I don't have time to water every day. Wet, humid climates have the opposite problem I have. It's the same for any kind of plant. Clay pots here dry out too fast even for cactus, in my opinion.

I really love the hard fir bark at kelleys....mixes well, and holds its shape for a couple years, just like it is supposed to....good stuff
