pot recommendations for monster phal

[fishmommy]

This phal needs a new pot. It is currently in an Aircone pot 7" which is the largest size.
I really like the clear pots, but am worried that a round clear pot will tip over (the aircone pots are heavy enough)
any recommendations for this plant?

If you can find a clear pot that is round and deeper add some stones to the bottom for weight and drainage. It is beautiful by the way. Great growing.

You could use a round clear pot and slip it into a clay pot for stability. OR, you could just go with clay. As my Phals get larger, I try to use a medium that drys a little faster. Using a clay pot would serve the same purpose.

Wow fishmommy. That is amazing. Do they make any bigger cone pots? Seems really happy with the cone pots.

[fishmommy]

nope, 7" is the biggest.
I agree - these pots are my favorite

here's a better pic of the blooms - a duplicate of one I posted in the 'my phals' thread.
this thing has thrown out a 3rd round of buds on each spike now. it's crazy

This one really really looks like my Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope (pictured below). Do you have a name for this one?

[fishmommy]

yep, that is the one! you are Very good!
It was the very first orchid I bought that was not for the terrarium. It was my top pick since I first discovered orchids! I am endlessly delighted by this plant and its almost constant explosion of blooms. Long lasting, too.
I purchased it at A&P Orchids while at a conference on Cape Cod (MA) along with my Ho Chi Minh, my Trevor Rathbone vanda and my Sweet Orange Ascd.
I have been delighted with all of them.

I actually used this one to propose to my wife.

Awesome!
