Default Paphiopedilums in tall pots

Susan,

Check out Treepots. These are black plastic pots used by tree growers. I
have been growing a couple of Phrags in them for the past year and they seem
to enjoy the vertical space for the roots and the leaves don't drag on the
bench.

I put some screen in the bottom and put some heavy gravel in the bottom for
stability.

The "short one" and "tall one" would be good for larger plants.

Good growing,
Gene

I've started trying the tall pots they use for Asian Cymbidiums. The

ones
with the holes in the side seem the best. Tentative results look

promising.
My only problem is getting enough of the pots at a decent price. Anyone
have a source?
Hopefully,
Dave


I would like to find some to use on a couple of Cym. The only
tall ones I have seen were very expensive for a plain pot.
