White ceramic orchid vase including saucer. Perforated and breathable, it is designed to respect the natural needs of the plant. Why is this pot ideal for Orchids? Tropical orchids are almost always epiphytic plants and are often forced into containers that are unsuitable for their life. Carved ceramic pots are an excellent solution to ensure optimal aeration of the root system because they simulate the natural support. All pieces are handmade and numbered.

For a pretty display on my kitchen table, I decided to "kopy kat" an idea I saw in the January issue of "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine. The article explains how to put orchids creatively in tall vases. An orchid expert tells how to keep the orchids' roots healthy while they are in the vases. I have been downsizing my vase collection so I don't have the straight-sided vases that I used to. I did find three former (spigots are broken) clear glass drink dispensers in the attic. I turned the spigots towards the window so they are less obvious. I found three orchids on sale at the grocery store on sale for only $10 each. I had intentions of following the directions in the magazine for keeping the roots moist while they are out of the pot and under glass. The problem was that when I got the orchids out of the pots and into the glass containers, I loved seeing the twisted and curly roots. I didn't want to cover them up with rocks, etc. I did think that the jars needed more orchid medium to not look so skimpy so I got some more at Home Depot. To get the new orchid medium down in the bottom of the containers in the places that needed it, I used a technique I learned when I was making terrariums. Making a funnel out of paper and placing the narrow end where you want the medium (or soil) to land in the container, guides it without getting stuff on the leaves, or places that you don't want it. Another tip is to to use a cork on a wooden skewer to move the medium (or soil) around as needed without trying to get your hands or fingers down in the glass (and perhaps breaking a leaf). Here are the containers with more orchid medium in the bottom and around the base of the roots. The magazine's instructions say to disassemble the orchids, rocks, etc. every 7-10 days and soak the roots in tepid water then reassemble them. Because my roots are exposed, I give them about ten spritzes of water everyday (trying to get to all the roots in the bottom of the container) to compensate for any lost moisture. I move them to the kitchen area for their spritzing so I don't get water on the wood table. So far the roots are staying green and look happy. The atmosphere inside the containers stays moist for an hour or so everyday. When the flowers fall off I will re-pot the orchids. For now I am enjoying not only the flowers but also the roots of the orchids under glass. This was a very easy project to copy...you might like to try it also and give it your own spin! Here's a good image to "pin" for Pinterest ...
How do you keep Cattleya orchids alive so you can enjoy their flowers for many years? It's a lot easier than you think.Cattleya orchids are among the most familiarized types of orchid plants to date. Their large flowers of vibrant colors and wonderful fragrances have made them popular for use as corsages and display pieces.So what's the secret?Every expert cattleya orchid grower has a checklist to keep their prized plants alive and thriving. In this article, we’ll teach you how to care for orchids- the Cattleya orchid. We’ll address the key aspects and provide you with the answers to the most common questions and a few rules of thumb (green thumbs) when it comes to growing these plants. It’s a simple 4-part list, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be variables you’ll need to consider in your own environment.Let’s get started.1. Lighting- Do Cattleya Orchids Need Sunlight?Most plants require sunlight and the Cattleya orchid is no different. In fact, these plants require ample sunlight to grow and, most especially, to flower.The biggest mistake new growers make is placing their Cattleya in a location with direct sunshine and afternoon light. But too much light at high intensities can leave your orchid with sunburn and negatively impact the further growth of your plant.To avoid any issues and keep your Cattleya happy, provide early morning sunlight with a position near an east-facing window and filter any direct intensity with a sheer curtain.2. Watering- How often to water my orchid?Water is so important and yet in high quantities, it can prove to be a slow poison to your Cattleya orchid plant.This type of orchid prefers to dry out between watering. When you notice that the bottom half of its pot and potting medium has become dry, give your plant and its media a thorough watering using distilled rainwater or reverse osmosis water.For most plants, this is necessary just once a week. If it's very dry, misting just the leaves can help to aid in the plant taking in moisture but not saturating its roots.When the orchid is flowering, this may increase to every 4-5 days but always err on the side of caution and wait a day or two to reduce the risk of overwatering.3. Temperature- What is the temperature range for Cattleya orchids?The ideal Cattleya orchid temperature range is between 60-80F. These plants are happiest when the day temperatures are between 70-80F with a 10-degree temperature drop at night. These orchids can't withstand freezing temperatures.4. Do Cattleya orchids like humidity?Orchids in general do best when there is humidity in the air.These plants prefer humidity between 45% and 60%.Here in Hawaii, humidity is abundant but if you live in an area where the air is dry, you may want to consider investing in a humidifier for the room where you keep your orchids indoors. Another wonderful, inexpensive, or DIY option is the orchid humidity tray. Just be sure that your plant isn’t left sitting in water.Final Thought – Don’t believe what everyone says, watch what they do.There’s a lot of information online, and even more misinformation. We will never write an article or provide resources for anything that we don’t actively do for our own orchids. We’ve been growing and creating original cattleya orchids for over 40 years and they’ve rewarded us with blooms every year and have allowed us to share the joy they give to us with millions of others. By simply focusing on these 4 aspects and by paying close attention to the key information provided in those answers, you too can enjoy growing your cattleya orchids for many, many years!
