Cases for and against double potting?

[brush]

I double pot all of my phals . Not only does it finish off or suit the orchid , it is neater than just the plastic pot it's planted in . The second pot is usually a clay pot , which when watering the phal , is also soaked in water to allow for humidity around your orchid .

In some instances I have a third pot . If you have highly polished or prize furniture pieces you would like to display your orchid on , the wet clay pot would damage the surface . So the third pot is a ceramic glazed pot .
