🌏 Taranaki Bark – Product of New Zealand
Kiwi Orchid Bark is produced from premium non-composted Pinus radiata bark sourced from sustainably managed plantations in New Zealand.
Unlike aged or composted bark products that can break down rapidly and alter pH levels, non-composted bark remains structurally stable for much longer, helping maintain consistent root-zone conditions and reducing the need for frequent repotting.
No rinsing is normally required apart from flushing a small amount of fines that may have formed during freight handling.
⚠️ Important Note
This product contains natural organic materials, including pine bark and naturally occurring micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa.
Avoid inhaling dust and wash hands after handling. Please refer to product packaging for complete handling and safety information.
