Socially responsible production

At Sybotanica we not only want to make plants happy, but people happy as well. In our production team we exclusively hire people with a distance from the workforce, and help them rehabilitate to the normal working life.


Take Peter for example:

Peter has been with Sybotanica since the 1st hour, and has now been promoted to head of production & a permanent contract! Where he was the first employee, he now manages a team of 3 production workers.

What makes this achievement even more impressive is that Peter achieved all this with only 10% visibility! 🕶️ With a few minor adjustments to his working environment, Peter is able to perform his job 100%.

Peter has now been through two moves and knows all the ins & outs of Sybotanica. He can even feel by the potting soil which variety it is. That's quite a challenge with 16 different mixes!

We are confident that Peter will keep production running smoothly in the coming years too! 💪

FAQ

How long does the Orchid bark last?
Since this is a natural product, it can sadly not last forever.

Orchid bark, when stored dry, will last up to two years.

If the product is exposed to moisture or stored too long, it can develop mold.

Mold can be an issue as it may lead to a rapid breakdown of the natural bark, which makes the pot too acidic for orchid roots.

If you find some small mold spores in your Orchid Mix, don't worry, this causes little to no harm to your plant. Issues will arise when the mold is taking over the bark and causing visible damage to your plant.

How is the Orchid bark treated?
Our Orchid bark is treated with steam and heat, which helps to prevent fungal and moldy growth.

What is the difference between regular bark and Orchid bark?
Regular bark is not treated like Orchid bark, making it less suitable for indoor plants. Orchid bark is a higher quality form of bark. It's also cleaner than regular bark, and the type of trees picked (Pinus Radiata) have a strong structure which helps the bark last longer

Crested Gecko Vivarium with Sybasoil products.

I've previously attempted using ordinary plant soil from the supermarket for bioactive setups for my crested geckos, this has always ended up with me having to remove the soil along with the plants, due to bad odor and the bioactive cleaning crew not thriving.

It was about time to try out something proper, ( Sybasoil's products) and whilst i have not had this setup for a long time and it definetely needs more work to it - I am super happy with the soil itself, it's soft, smells delicious and it's super easy to work with.
I can only recommend this.
