General S/H question, what do you use to catch the water?

Get outta my thread yous lousy kids!!!

Lol. I put my first orchid in true S/h tonight, Zoo. sirpentium (sp? I can’t fully read the tag) and I’ll let you know how it goes, I’m pumped. I think I’ll begin switching my phals and minis into s/h as well


What do you use for really large containers? I sourced 32z soup containers and they will do the job for almost everything but some, like my phrag, are way too big but the next size up container I found is a gallon juice container or a 3 gallon mop bucket and the juice container is a bit bootleg, even for me, and the bucket is way too big

I'm baaaaack.

If the container needs to be pretty, look in the large glassware section of a WallyWorld or other big box store in their houseware section. I have one big phrag in one of those ice tea dispensers, one in a big glass cookie jar with straight sides. Bathroom section you can find gallon or so trash cans. And your local thrift shop in the glassware section.

If no need to be pretty, look on Amazon for the 64 oz Basix Round Clear Food Storage Deli Container With Lids.

If you're going to transfer more to S/H make sure they're putting out new root growth for easier/quicker success.
