How Much Do Orchid Pots Cost? 2019 Latest Prices and How to Choose

Orchids are a symbol of noble purity and one of the Four Gentlemen of Flowers, and many people love orchids. When it comes to growing orchids, choosing a suitable pot can not only help orchids grow more vigorously but also make them more beautiful. Below, let's look at the 2019 orchid pot prices and how to choose.

I. Types of orchid pots

1. Clay pots. Clay pots have low density and excellent water absorption and breathability, making them the first choice for growing orchids. Many expert growers spare no expense to custom-order thin-walled, highly breathable, finely made clay pots for growing orchids. When choosing clay pots, it is best to pick ones with a large bottom hole, a flat and round rim, and consistent height. It is best to choose a deeper clay pot with feet, as this increases air circulation at the bottom and is better suited to orchid growth.

2. Plastic pots. The most common pots for growing orchids are plastic pots, which are lightweight, attractive in appearance, and very good at retaining moisture, with many styles and specifications and a wide range to choose from. Plastic pots are suitable for use on balconies. However, plastic pots have poor breathability, heat up quickly and cool down slowly, which may affect orchid growth.

3. Ceramic pots. Ceramic pots are purely ornamental flower pots, but only a few people grow orchids in them, generally as a personal hobby or for decoration.

4. Zisha pots. Zisha pots have very poor breathability, but growing orchids in them is both attractive and practical, and they can be chosen for home growing or exhibition. When selecting them, choose pots with evenly drilled holes on the walls, a large bottom hole, and thin walls, which makes drainage and breathability more convenient. At present, most orchid growing uses zisha pots.

5. Other pots. Orchids can also be grown in porcelain pots, glazed pots, stone pots and other flower pots, chosen according to personal preference.

II. How to choose an orchid pot

1. Size: The orchid pot should be chosen to be moderate, neither too large nor too small. It is best not to choose too large a pot for planting orchids; a pot that is too large is difficult to move, the humidity is hard to control, and breathability is also very poor.

2. Color: Among the many flower pots, plastic pots come in the most colors, with designs in black, white, red and many other colors, and choosing an attractive pot is also important.

3. Breathability: When choosing an orchid pot, it is best to choose one with ventilation holes around the body and with those holes distributed in the middle and lower part of the pot body. If the pot has feet, this is even better for breathability. For plastic pots, you can make ventilation holes in the pot body yourself.

III. Orchid pot prices

There is no fixed, uniform price for orchid pots. For example, a plastic flower pot costs only a few yuan each, while the price of a clay pot or zisha pot can reach over a hundred yuan. The main thing is to choose a pot according to your own actual situation. Judge and choose based on your own flower-growing space and the specifications, texture, color, style, etc. you need.

Growing orchids can cultivate the mind and character, and choosing a good flower pot can make orchids grow more vigorously and beautifully. If you want to grow beautiful orchids, start with choosing the flower pot.
