Recommended usage: 

1. Direct planting 

   Planting your orchid directly in a terracotta pot provides:

   • Natural aeration: Porous terracotta allows airflow through the pot walls.

   • Moisture and temperature control: Helps excess moisture evaporate and prevents prolonged root wetness.

   • Root health: Supports orchids that prefer good airflow and well-draining conditions.
     

   • Natural beauty: A simple, handcrafted look that complements your orchid.

   Direct planting requires careful watering, especially in pots without drainage holes, let the pot and media dry fully between watering. Orchids grown directly in terracotta often attach their roots to the porous surface of the pot, allowing them to settle in and thrive. When it’s time to repot, take extra care, as some roots may be firmly embedded in the terracotta.

2. Plastic inner pot - allows for better root visibility but limits the benefits of terracotta planting.
