pots question

[tucker85]

I use unglazed clay orchid pots for Cattleya or Lealia type orchids because they dry more rapidly and those orchids like to dry completely between waterings. I like clear plastic for Phals. because they like to stay moist. I only tried glazed pots a couple of times and I did not have success so I stopped using them. My problem with those orchids may not have been the pot.

Ditto to every word, Tucker. The only thing I'll add is that the clay orchid pots add much needed weight that helps keep my taller Catts from tipping over.
