I use the fine Rexius bark for everything in my greenhouse. It does
take a couple of waterings to get it to stay moist. I have found that a
couple drops of dish soap per gallon of water helps break the surface
tension so it wets more quickly. Of course, I also have perlite, pumice
and charcoal in the mix. Paphs and new starts love it. I chose Rexius
because I live near Eugene, where I pick it up from the mill in two
cubic foot bags for $8.00.

This bark seems rather difficult to keep wet. Is anyone else having this
problem?
