I. the material of flowerpot

Orchids must use pots that are relatively breathable, which is good for the growth of its roots. Therefore, purple sand basin and mud tile basin are recommended. For beginners, it is recommended to use a mud basin because it is very breathable, allows plants to grow very well, and the price is low. For those who have maintenance experience, it is recommended to use a more beautiful purple sand basin.

Second, the size of the flowerpot

The size of the orchid pot should be determined according to the variety and volume of the plant. If you want to grow smaller varieties such as Cymbidium, you need to use a smaller basin. If you want to grow a slightly larger variety like Jianlan, you should use a larger basin. If you are planting young plants, you need to use a smaller pot. If you are planting an adult plant, use a larger basin.

Third, flowerpot color

Generally speaking, orchids are more suitable to be planted in light-colored flowerpots, because this can highlight its elegance and beauty. But if the maintenance is young, then it is recommended to use a black basin. Because black can absorb heat, slightly increase the temperature, so that young plants grow faster.
