How to Choose your Orchid Pots
The orchid pots that you choose to re-pot your orchids in is important to their longevity. Orchid roots have rotted and plants have perished because they were placed in the wrong kind of pot. Many types of orchid pots have actually been custom designed these days.
However there are differences as some orchid pots have been designed to allow for a free flow of air, while others are designed to be translucent, giving the pot the ability to allow the process of photosynthesis to spontaneously occur within the orchid. It is critical, however, to pay attention to the type of orchid you have, as well as the growing conditions it requires, in order to select the right size and type of pot.
Basket orchid pots, plastic pots and clay or terracotta pots are the most commonly used orchid pots. To help you decide which pot is best suited for you here is a brief overview and some of the positives and negatives of each type of pot.
Plastic Orchid Pots
For plants that require a damp growing medium, pots made out of plastic are the perfect choice. Because orchid plants need the compost they are in to be moist but not waterlogged, plastic orchid pots are perfect because they have multiple drainage holes. If there isn’t enough drainage you can always puncture the bottom of the plastic pot to fit your orchid’s needs.
The major disadvantage of using plastic pots is that the potting mix retains water longer in plastic than in clay pots.
Orchid Pots made of Clay or Terracotta
Clay orchid pots are excellent for epiphytic orchids that are drought-tolerant, such as Cymbidiums, which are also much healthier in larger-sized orchid pots. Terracotta or Clay pots come with a drainage hole at the bottom and the porous clay material allows water to evaporate making them perfect for growing these varieties of orchids that are highly susceptible to being adversely affected by a water-clogged environment.
Terracotta orchid pots have the advantage of being heavier than plastic pots thus providing a more stable pot when growing orchids in an outdoor environment.
Orchid Basket
Orchids like Gongora which have pendant flowers and are sprawling with heavy roots do well in basket pots made out of wood, mesh, or wire. These types of orchids need a lot of sunlight to penetrate their root systems, as well as good air circulation, both of which are important for producing the beautiful blooms these orchids are known for. Basket orchid pots are excellent providers of air circulation and sunlight..
However, baskets tend to dry out more easily so proper care should be taken in respect to watering them. Basket pots come in a variety of shapes and sizes and materials. You will almost always find basket pots for orchids that are meant to be hung from some type of support structure.
Each of the orchid pots mentioned above are suitable choices for re-potting your orchids. It is simply a good idea to find out before purchasing what the ideal growing container is for a particular type of orchid. Each variety of orchid plant requires a uniquely different type of growing condition and pot. Doing the research first will help you choose the right kind of orchid pots to buy.

Celebrating Atlantic Canada $20.8 In Canada’s Atlantic provinces it is often said – by visitors and locals alike – that you can point a camera in almost any direction, click, and take home a picture-perfect memory. Jack Chiang has done just that, but with the precision and artistry that have earned him accolades for his ability to capture the perfect picture at the perfect time and a talent honed over a lifetime of photography that has secured his reputation as “a photographer’s photographer” in the eyes of his peers.In New Brunswick, Chiang offers up images, not just of St.Andrews-by-the-Sea, Moncton’s Tidal Bore and Magnetic Hill, the “flower pots” of Hopewell, and the historic streets of Saint John, but of Acadian festivals, the salmon rich waters of the Miramichi and Restigouche Rivers, the Fundy tides, and a myriad of towns and villages off the beaten track. In Nova Scotia, Chiang’s photos of Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, Kejimkujik and the Cabot Trail tell untold stories, while others open the viewers’ eyes to “Canada’s Ocean Playground” and its interior with images seldom if ever seen before. Prince Edward Island and the island of Newfoundland are photographed by Chiang in kind. The red clay soil of Anne of Green Gables’ country, the springtime icebergs off St. John’s, the moose, the whales, the immensity and magnetic sweep of Labrador are presented in magnificent colour. So too, the beaches, flora and fauna of P.E.I. sit side by side with Chiang’s brilliantly captured images of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s “Green Gables” and rich red soil of the Island farms. Like Jack Chiang’s previous books – Images of Kingston and CelebratingOntario – the two new books being published in the spring of 2006 contain dozens of photography tips for anyone interested in improving their picture-taking skills, be they experienced photographers or beginners with simple equipment. |
