Nerikomi hanging porcelain planter for mini cattleya and dendrobium orchids
One-of-a-Kind Shallow Porcelain Orchid Pot
Designed for miniature Cattleyas and Dendrobiums, this handbuilt, one-of-a-kind porcelain pot celebrates the beauty of thoughtful orchid growing. Its shallow, wide design accommodates orchids that prefer a more compact root environment rather than a deep pot.
This piece features nerikomi, a traditional Japanese ceramic technique in which differently coloured clays are layered and patterned to create distinctive designs throughout the clay itself. Each piece becomes a unique work of art, with patterns that are integral to the porcelain rather than simply applied to its surface.
Each piece features a custom 3D-printed basket designed to make watering easier while adding a practical touch to its unique form. Handcrafted with individuality in mind, every pot is a little work of art, with its own distinctive character.
Because some orchids thrive in shallow spaces, not every root system needs a deep home — just the right one.
Orchid Compatibility
- Miniature Cattleyas: Ideal for compact plants with short rhizomes and roots that benefit from a shallow, airy growing environment.
- Dendrobiums: Suitable for compact varieties that prefer a shallow root zone and excellent airflow. Choose the pot according to your specific species and its growth habit.
Care Tips
- Use a free-draining orchid medium suited to your variety.
- Allow the roots and growing medium to approach dryness as appropriate for your orchid before watering again.
- The custom basket makes watering and handling easier, helping you care for your orchid's roots with less disturbance.
- Avoid leaving roots constantly wet; good airflow and appropriate drying between waterings are essential.
