Orchid Pots
Orchid plant pots designed the way orchids actually grow - clear sides for light, slotted walls for air, and drainage that keeps the roots out of standing water. Pots for orchids that finish the windowsill and keep the plant happy.
About our orchid pots
Orchids are not difficult, they are just different. An orchid does most of its growing above the compost, with thick roots that photosynthesise and hate sitting wet - which is why ordinary pots let so many moth orchids down. Orchid pots are built around exactly those quirks. Our clear orchid pots have transparent walls so light reaches the roots, slotted or mesh sides so air moves freely, and generous drainage so water leaves before rot can start. The result is the airy, bright, fast-draining home a Phalaenopsis has been quietly asking for. The Royal Horticultural Society is clear that overwatering, not cold, is what sees off most orchids indoors - so a pot that drains and breathes does half the care for you. The range covers clear orchid plant pots with matching saucers for tidy windowsill watering, twin-wall designs that hold a small reservoir below the roots, and simple slotted pots for repotting a supermarket orchid into something that suits it. If you tend to forget a watering, our self-watering pots take the pressure off, and the matched pot and saucer sets keep sills dry. Sizing is easy: most shop-bought orchids move happily into an 11 to 12cm pot, and every listing gives the exact size in centimetres. Browse the wider indoor plant pots range for everything else on the windowsill. Free UK delivery over £20, dispatched within 48 hours, and a 100% money-back guarantee on every pot.
Orchid Pots - FAQs
What kind of pot does an orchid need?
A pot that lets light and air reach the roots and drains fast. Clear, slotted orchid pots do all three - the transparent walls even let the roots photosynthesise, which is how orchids are built to grow.
What size pot suits a supermarket orchid?
Most moth orchids from the supermarket are happy moving into an 11 to 12cm pot. Only pot up a size when the roots are clearly crowding the old one - orchids prefer a snug fit to a roomy one.
Can I use a normal plant pot for an orchid?
You can as a cover pot, but the orchid does best in a clear, slotted inner pot sat inside it. That way the roots get the light and air they want while the outer pot keeps the windowsill tidy.
