What can I plant in this pot?
I just purchased it! I was thinking a Phal with some sphagnum? It is quite tall and narrow....made of clay. Suggestions?

What is the height, and mouth of the pot. It is very pretty but my thoughts...putting an onicidium type looking plant with dancing foliage (spider-like). The appearance would be taller, not short and stocky. Lets hear other thoughts, have been thinking on getting a clay pot but with a larger belly and put some type of orchid in it  |

It is perfect for Asian cymbidiums!

Pretty pots there. Those would be used for asian cymbidiums (the small ones). I have used them for phrags before too and I guess paphs can go in too. I usually slip plastic pots in them for temporary display of blooming plants

Anything that has deep roots (cymbidium, phrags) but the plastic insert is a good idea. Clay will allow salt build up quickly, so you have to leach it more often.

The top opening is only 7.5 cm and it is 18.5 cm tall. Not an easy one that's for sure.

Perfect for Cymbidium dayanum!

I have a pendulous type cym that would look good in it. I also agree that an oncidium with the graceful, arching spikes would be a good choice. Wouldn't a phrag look like it's on top of a mountain instead of the forest floor  |

Um, did I forget to mention I don't grow Cymbidiums or Oncidiums? :-)

If you grow oncidiums that would be a good bet. I agree the leaves should cascade over the side. I have a tall pot and it was sold as a cymbidium pot. Brenda
