Easier way to repot Neo's - Orchid Board

luckygrower · #1 (**permalink**) 04-05-2009, 02:11 AM

I thought I would share this item I found to make it easier to repot Neo's and provide them with great air circulation.
I first saw this at Seed Engie then on Ebay.
I purchased this on Ebay from seller "simplelife562", it is called air circulation dome for Neo's and Sedirea.
The photo's below show how easy it is to repot,I'm using my Neo rainbow (in spike) as my example.

The last picture is the finished repot placed in a new pot I found and a fancy stand.
The total time from start to finish for repotting was about 10 minutes

Hi There Luckygrower, I used a similar method by using a 4in plastic web pot and a smaller web pot inserted inside. But I like the pots you are using they have a bit more flair. Where did you get them? Also love the last picture very beautiful pot and stand.

How much does one of those cost? I can think of too many things shaped like that to list; I'd find it way too tempting to make my own. Much easier, though, I'm sure than fiddling around to make that happen, though.

I definitely agree though: the display pot and stand are neat indeed.

Nice to see you posting again here, Mike. Thanks for the demo w/ photos. The pot and stand are very cool.

you do know that the rainbow is a hybrid, right? I've seen lots of them sold as if they were neos.

lambelkip- Yes I know they are a hybrid, but thier growing habits are very similar to Neo's.

Hi, Tracy - I've been around but didn't have a lot to say.I only have one new addition that you might be interested in, its is Nagorankouhai (sedirea japonicaka x Doritis). I will post as soon as it blooms.

Ranchnanny - I purchased the domes from simplelife562 on Ebay. The nice black plastic pot was purchased from Seed Engie

I bought a neo ceramic pot from the same person. She is a great seller. As a matter of fact, I think she is an OB member, too.

BTW, your neo looks great. Thank you for sharing. I only have one neo right now. I will use this 'dome' idea for next one.

Hope she will still have it.

I saw these on ebay as well and I plan on getting some for next years repotting! It looks so much easier then the traditional method!

Hello everyone, this is Marissa aka simplelife562. Thank you so much for all the kind words. Just want to let everyone know that you can contact me directly if you are interested in purchasing some of my ebay listings for sale. I can send invoice directly through Paypal that way I can give better discount since I don't have to pay the Ebay fees.
