Fantastic! What are the little slat boxes made from? I tried making something like that with "craft sticks," but they are too small and rot too quickly.

Those are wood orchid baskets, sometimes called vanda baskets. I have some made from cedar, teak, cypress and mahogany. They're available from most orchid supply stores. I buy them locally. Even Home Depot carries them down here in Florida. I grow outdoors in South Florida where baskets are commonly used because it often rains every day during the summer and the roots will rot if orchids are in pots. I don't think they would be practical for growing indoors or in areas with less humidity. |

Thanks! I can see why they wouldn't be good for my plants here in Wyoming, but they look so nice and clean.  Oh well.. Just repotted my BLC and found some rotted roots, even though the pot and medium drain very well. Just need to water it less, that's all. |
