Orchids in nature tend to grow on the branches of trees. As a result, they need light and oxygen around the roots. Most store-bought planters don't provide the correct environment, and plant health suffers. I designed these pots to provide both light and oxygen, and the deep watering tray means you can fill the plant up with water once a week and sit back and enjoy healthy plants. 

  • These planters MUST be printed with PETG or they WILL leak. I went through dozens of design iterations early on, and 100% of the PLA prints leaked over time. If printed properly, my PETG pots have lasted for years with zero issues.
  • I have printed these at .2, .3, and .4 layer heights. 
  • These will work best with 5 top solid layers
  • 15-20% infill is typically sufficient
  • The water tray included is universal and fits both pot sizes

 

There are two sizes included. My original 5-inch pot with straight edges is great for most store-bought orchids. As they grow you may need the 6-inch pot to provide some extra breathing room. 

I suggest using rePotme mix for your potting medium if you need to transplant your orchids: https://amzn.to/3Pk6DeM
