Thanks, OrchidWhisperer. Good to know. Guess I'll just see how the plastic and Orchiata does for now...esp since I'm new.
Out of curiosity, I know some (like Danny/Miss Orchid Girl) have had issues with roots getting desiccated and/or overly attached to the sides of clay pots. Have You experienced that? If so, was there anything that helped prevent it? What are growing conditions?
