Dear Orchid friends, I hope you have not been asked this question so many times that it bores you, but I have some questions concerning potting. I have read a few books and some say that plastic pots are the way to go while others say that terra-cotta ones are the best. I have been unable to locate these "orchid pots" that I see on-line with little holes in the sides of them. Do I need something like that? Also I have seen on here that some people pot in some kind of clear, pot-liner like thing. What is the best to use? Where does one get it?
I have purchased three different bags of potting mix just because I wasn't sure what to use. One has quite large chunks of bark, charcoal, and other things. The second mix seems to be about the same but the pieces are much smaller. The third, which I stumbled upon by accident at a different store, says that it is specifically for Palaenopsis orchids and has "coarse peat" in it as well. Which do I use? What kind of pot? So many questions! Thank you so much for your time!! I do so appreciate it!
