Hey everybody! Does anyone have good recommendations for where to buy orchid bark? I really want to make sure it’s quality, doesn’t come with any bugs, that kind of thing. Any places that are known for quality? I feel like Amazon isn’t reliable, but I’ve never tried to buy something like this from them so I’m not sure. Any tips appreciated!
I've bought orchid bark, soil, leca pebbles from Amazon and didn't have any issues. If you're worried you could soak it in boiling water. Just check the reviews and you should be fine

I was having the same trouble. I recently bought reptile bark from a local pet shop. It’s essentially the same thing, no bugs and cheaper too. The only thing is it’s shredded so most bits are quite small. To combat this I just upped the ratio for my soil mix. So far all plants I’ve repotted into this mix are doing great!

I get mine at Home Depot and personally have never had any issues with pests! I also mix mine with soil

I use Espoma orchid bark; I order it and all the rest of my soils from Amazon. Never had any issues personally
