Orchid pot selection doesn't need deep study; the growing medium structure and moisture control are what really matter
Whenever new orchid growers are just starting out, they are always thinking about what kind of flower pot to use for growing orchids. Thinking back to when I first started growing orchids, the orchid pots in my home were truly like a general store, with every kind of pot imaginable. At first, I used the very traditional and popular celadon ceramic pots of Chaoshan, and later I came to prefer purple clay pots. As the number of orchids increased, the jumble of pots made management inconvenient. In order to harmonize the many orchid pots in the orchid room so that drainage rates could be uniform, it became necessary to use pots of similar size, thickness, texture, and shape, so that when many orchid pots in the same room were watered at the same time, after the same period, each pot would dry at the same rate, or at least not differ too much. From today's perspective, this is relatively easy to achieve with plastic flower pots. Of course, some orchid growers, for ventilation and aesthetics, specially order or buy whole batches of purple clay pots or lightweight porcelain pots, but the cost is really quite high. Regarding plastic pots, many orchid growers have different views and feel they are not ventilated, but this is actually a misunderstanding.
