But we suggest reconsidering your views on the banal cultivation of green beauties in unremarkable plastic pots. Here`s a collection of fresh ideas for unusual floral compositions with live orchids!

Repotting orchids

1. Glass pots

Experienced florists recommend repotting orchids into glass pots only if the containers have holes. And the more such holes, the better. In that case, orchids can be safely grown just like in plastic pots.

A glass pot without cutouts or with a single hole at the bottom will be useful only for growing vanda, ascocenda, or phalaenopsis orchids. In this case, it`s substrate-free repotting of the plants.

2. Wooden blocks

For those who want to repot a beautiful orchid from plastic to a block, you should know that this can only be done in spring. At this time, the flower`s root system grows very quickly.

Owners of epiphytic plants that are repotted onto blocks should understand that in this way, the flower`s roots will dry out very quickly, so it`s important to moisten them every day. It`s best to grow orchids on blocks in small greenhouses.

3. Repotting multiple plants in one pot

Such compositions look simply amazing. But for those who decide to repot several orchids into one container, it`s important to know a few things. In one container, the roots of different plants intertwine tightly, diseases from one flower quickly spread to all the others, and if only one orchid blooms, the composition will no longer look as luxurious.

The best solution for those who want to combine their plants in one flower pot is this idea: place several orchids in individual pots into one basket, box, or decorative pot.

4. Decorative bamboo box

This option for growing orchids also requires frequent spraying of the plants, as the substrate and moss in such a box tend to dry out very quickly. By the way, for those who like crafts, it won`t be difficult to make such a decorative box themselves.

5. Plant ladders

Placing houseplants on the windowsill has long become trivial. The monotonous window decoration is being replaced by various types of shelves and supports for plants. It`s worth getting at least one such thing.

6. Mesh pots

Orchids without substrate is a risky but very interesting idea. That`s because the plant needs to be sprayed even more frequently not only with water but also with various fertilizers. The epiphyte needs to get nutrients from somewhere.

7. Decorative branches

With such unpretentious branches and orchid flowers, you can create a fairy-tale composition. Just take into account a few important points: the orchid roots should be properly covered with moss and sprayed at least twice a day.
