Hey fellow Orchid Obsessors. Recently just went to groom the roots and do a repot and my boyfriend bought terracotta as he thought that was what a lot of growers use. Reaching out to see what your thoughts are on this?

    I wouldn’t. Clear plastic with holes is best for orchids. Terracotta holds moisture. But if it’s all ya got…eh.

    I second swampwitch’s comment. You can always pot in a clear plastic ventilated pot and insert in the terracotta for display. Just make sure there’s a little gap between the plastic and the decorative pot for air movement.

    I have a mini orchid in terracotta and it’s doing okay! I just keep an eye on it and make sure it’s drying out properly

    Motes(see YouTube) says clay pots are the best. You can see moisture on the outside of the pot and it helps pull the water away from the plant.
