orchid pots

Coopersburg, PA(Zone 6b)

DD would like to throw me some orchid pots. Does anyone know they proper dimensions, drainage details, glazing info etc? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! Toby

It depends on what kind of orchids you are growing, your growing conditions, and your preferred growing medium. To give an example of extremes - vanda would just want a wood basket and a phrag a plastic (or glazed) pot. People who grow phals in a mud mix would want a different pot from someone who grows them in cocunut husk chips or semihydro media.

Some things to consider are air holes in the side, glazed or not, extra drainage holes in the bottom, and feet. For some ideas, take a look at this: http://www.rojipotterystudio.com/Orchid_Pots.htm
