Searching for taller pots
 

I need to repot some paphs that only need a 4" wide pot (or even smaller) but could use quite a bit of depth - even up to 6" on some. I've been searching for deep pots but not finding anything in pots that are under 5". Anyone have suggestions for sources? Thanks!

Look for cymbidium pots.

I was having that trouble with my phrags....I finally started cutting off water bottles, large juice bottles etc...they don't look quite as pretty, but they are very functional. Good luck with your search!!

I would try Kelly's Korner Orchids, here is a picture of aforementioned Cymbidium pots. Sorry for the poor screen shot.

Thanks!
 

Thanks for the suggestions! Once I started searching for cymbidium pots, I found them right away. Although, now I'm looking at all the free plastic bottles in my recycling bin!

I think you'll find it works great! My phrags like it!

Yeah, cymbidium pots are awesome. You can find some really nice terra cotta ones with Chinese paintings and letters on them too.

I found some 5.1/2" square pots that are abt 6" deep at Griffin's, but they only sell a box with some 400+ pots. It is a good size for Paphs & Phrags, that have outgrown 3.1/2 & 4" pots though.

Perhaps a suitably sized flower vase with a hole drilled for drainage? They tend to be taller than they are wide.

I am afraid that I have too many Paphs for that approach. I need about 25 of the larger pots right now, and I will need 50-75 more in the fall.

You could look at wine bottles with the tops cut off. I used one for my paph when I put into s/h.

Well yeah, if you're you've got tons of plants you probably don't want craft clay pots, unless you intend to sell them at a premium.

Hi, I'm new to the orchid board. But I found some nice tall Paph. pots at RePotme. They are brown plastic, tall and thin, in different sizes, but not too expensive. Sold as Paph. pots. I bought them to devide my Paphs. last fall.

I am not sure why you feel you need tall pots for Paphs. You do not need a pot as tall as the longest plant root. Either trim some off the roots or simply gently screw the plant into the pot with either a clockwise or counterclockwise motion of the pot as you hold the plant steady. Works like a charm and does not break the roots. I am assuming you have removed all the old, rotten roots?

Hi, I got some really nice plastic pots sold for Paphs. that are 5" wide and 7" tall from Repotme. A bit pricey but nice

this place has a wonderful selection. My phrags love the tall pots, and a Cym ensifolium
