Hiiii! Potter here and I know a ton of ceramic artists in Instagram as well as myself are making these by hand as well if you’re in to that sort of thing!
The ceramic pots for orchids are so pretty, and I actually use orchid pots for other types of plants, I think most benefit from more air circulation to the roots, even if it means more watering. But, the ceramic orchid pots with attached saucers sometimes don’t have such great drainage at the very bottom. And true, they are kind of pricey. Last week I bought an orchid pot from a company called Rosebud, they make different colors, I got the terracotta, which has a matte finish, and they are made from a bio-plastic. Not cheap either, around $25 for a 6”.
Denise, that is awesome... Have you watched the New Orchid video? If not be sure to check that one out. It can help with some of the anxiety..... Feel free to shoot over any questions.
I have the greenish pot you showed. I bought it at Lowe’s in so cal. 15.99. Just wanted to let you know I’m new to orchids & I really like your videos. Thank you so much for the info.
Walmart in-store (Texas) has a nice “Mainstays” 6-inch ceramic planter for $7.84 (white). Also “Pennington” 5-inch ceramic planters for $8.82 in “Vintage” blue or white, also nice.
@@TheBlackOrchidProject I will research more later on in the future. Perhaps if I order online, but like you said....it'll cost an arm and a leg in the way. Anyway, just to share with you.....my baby died, no way my orchid was gonna survive in that state. However, learned my lesson. I will inspect like a hawk from now on when buying my orchid from not reputable places. Blessings :)
I by chance found the pot in your left hand today so I picked it up. I'll repot it tomorrow. It's totally growing out of the pot it came in like 2 years ago.
@@TheBlackOrchidProject Hello, it went very well. No stems yet, just leaves and one small air root. I'm hoping the new pot and orchid potting bark will help it gain some size. Great hearing back from you!
@@kent.6063 Glad to hear it all went well. Hopefully you will see a spike this year. Would love to see a pic if it does... Take care and thanks for watching.
Hey Robert, I soak water in these pots also. Fill a container or the sink with water and sit ii in there few a bit. They are glazed so it won’t harm the pot.
My brother had some clear orchid pots. I use em for my pond plants. Now my goldfish no longer uproots the plants. Oh, and make sure to only buy potted aquarium plants. Never take em out of the pot. So it makes them more durable in the clear orchid pots 😤
Not yet, it will be coming soon.. Lots of request. If you're in need now t's pretty much the same process. Just no need to remove roots. FYI I have moved my orchid content to a new channel The Black Orchid Project th-cam.com/channels/0Vek_K6UlhF5eyJlhOCHlQ.html If you would like to follow along.
Problem with these pots is there is no hole at the bottom, so water can be on the bottom till the level of the first side hole, which is about 1/2 inch.. That will rot the media and roots.
You’re wrong Cliff…… there is a hole at the bottom and a drainage tray!! Funny thing is you got a “like” on your comment from someone else that obviously doesn’t own one of these.
@@TheBlackOrchidProject i have some of these pots, there is an attached tray, and some brands only have a drainage hole on the bottom of the pot but others that look very similar do not have a hole. So I'm not wrong. Im just not correct with your brand. But buyers of these pots that look very similar have no hole.
@@cliffcox7643I agree, not all of them are the same. I have a few with attached saucers that have one small hole at the bottom, or no hole at the bottom. So when I’m looking for new ones, I always check that there is good drainage to the saucer.
@@laurie48fox Hello Laurie, thanks for the feedback. There is definitely sound on the video, the end is a little louder but the rest is quite loud also. Depending on what device your on you have to turn up the sound on both the device and the video. The video sound is located next to the time code. I have to do that on my phone, computer and tablet. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I can not find a video of watering in a ceramic pot that has no inner pot. Love your videos. Thank you!!!

Never give up on them! ❤
I'm starting to go to friends houses and teaching them to properly take care of their orchid friends.
Time to start a channel... Wait until you see my next update, even I'm amazed.
Great pots. Glad to have the info to order directly from the vendor. Thanks for your videos. Because of you I bought my first orchid today.
Denise, that is awesome... Have you watched the New Orchid video? If not be sure to check that one out. It can help with some of the anxiety..... Feel free to shoot over any questions.
@@TheBlackOrchidProject indeed I have. I will surely have questions. Again, thanks for the content!!
I got the pot that is in your left hand at a thrift store near my house for only $3.50. It is gorgeous!
What a great deal!!!
If the roots grow around the pot, how do you re-pot them without hurting the roots?
Those are really cool looking pots for orchids.
They are very efficient and stylish....

So sorry for the delay... Do you have anything in it yet?

Hi Randy. Great info on these lovely pots. I just wish that they sell them here in Canada. God Bless :)
are you sure you can't get them somewhere?

Studio La Roche in Quebec makes these 💜

Hi Randy
Thank you for the info, can you explain how you water the orchids in these pots? Thank you
Hey Robert,
I soak water in these pots also. Fill a container or the sink with water and sit ii in there few a bit. They are glazed so it won’t harm the pot.

My pots with the holes om the side always have the orchid mix falls out when I water.
I line mine with sphagnum moss or use really large fir bark. Wet the moss, squeeze it out and press it against the sides.
I actually just picked up two orchids already in this type of pot at one of the big box home improvement stores =)
That’s awesome, Good price?
@@TheBlackOrchidProject I thought so, $17.98 for 4.5. pot with an 8 inch tall plant, not counting the blooming stem.
I found one in Home Depot yesterday for $14 ! How often do you water now in this ceramic pot only?
Does it have holes?
Yes all over
Have you done a video on when and how to report a healthy orchid?
Not yet, it will be coming soon.. Lots of request. If you're in need now t's pretty much the same process. Just no need to remove roots. FYI I have moved my orchid content to a new channel The Black Orchid Project th-cam.com/channels/0Vek_K6UlhF5eyJlhOCHlQ.html If you would like to follow along.

Your audio for this vid is very low. I have my volume on max, but at the very end it was fine. Just saying!!
Not sure what to say Paul. Haven’t had any comments on the sound on this one. Thanks for the heads up though.
@@TheBlackOrchidProject Me, too, Randy. I could barely hear it UNTIL you say "Thanks for joining me here..." That part came through loud and clear.
