I grow most of my orchids in the typical plastic pots that have been heavily ventilated. Planta’s plastic pot setting doesn’t really address this type of pot as the media tends to dry out a little faster than it would in a typical plastic pot.

Long story short (too late) does anyone have a work around?

I feel the same way! I know there’s a section, like this anything about plants section, that is about Planta suggestions. We could probably add that idea there.

Your collection of plants are absolutely stunning!
