Dendrobium orchid
This is my first orchid in the Dendrobium family. I noticed that it was
sort of dry, so i took it out of the 4" pot. To my surprise, within that clay pot, was another plastic pot with drainage holes. Why were they planted that way? Does it make any difference? |

For stabilization purposes, the ones that need it then go into clay as well. Some are top heavy, and others are too light to stand on their own on a windy day. I wouldn't worry about it. Diana |

It's a marketing thing. In the commercial nursery setting, plastic is the
only economical choice, but customers tend to prefer clay. So some folks just set their plastic pots into clay when the plants come into bloom. -- Kenni Judd Juno Beach Orchids http://www.jborchids.com "boothbay" wrote in message ...
