For what it is worth, all the ones I buy are grown in rockwool or a heavy peat mixture. I have never received a single plant under 2 inches grown in bark.

Seedlings require a higher more consistent moisture level.

Gotcha, I will make sure to add peat to my mix of small bark/perlite. I would use rockwool, but I don't have time to re-order it and have it come on time.

Now that you included peat I will probably include it. I plan maybe a 1-1-1 ratio of Bark/Perlite/Moss adjusting accordingly for workability.
