Orchids are extremely capricious when it comes to covers and pots. If chosen incorrectly, they may fall off, quickly lose their flowers or turn yellow. We often look for the cause in excessive or sparse watering or poor location, but usually it is the wrong pot.
Why does an orchid have to be in a transparent pot? Its roots are demanding
Regardless of what variety of orchid we have at home, each of them feels best in a transparent pot or cover. It is a plant whose roots love to have access to light. Although they can also develop in dark, colored casings, they are definitely healthier and more beautiful when the casing is transparent.
We must remember that the pot cannot be too large. It is best if it is the right size for the roots and has many holes at the bottom. Thanks to this, the air will circulate freely and the excess will not accumulate at the bottom.
What pot should you transplant an orchid into? We are not stuck with store-bought covers
