Orchids in &quot;water-minder&quot; pot + my 3 new orchids Female
Default Orchids in "water-minder" pot + my 3 new orchids

I bought three gorgeous new orchids at Lowe's in Brooklyn today (BTW, for anyone in NYC, they had an amazing selection!) and of course I wanted to share them here. I got a Tolumnia Sun Bulb hybrid, a Miltassia Kauai's Choice 'Tropical Fragrance' AM/AOS, and a Miltonidium Rosy Sunset 'F'...pics are attached.

But I also have a question, because two of the orchids are potted in these things called ArtStone Water-Minder pots. I'm wary because it sounds gimmicky (and therefore potentially disastrous for orchids), and if you look at the link for the pots, it says that they are a self-watering system. Does anyone have any experience with orchids potted in these? I'm wondering if I should just toss these pots ASAP and and put my plants into pots with regular drainage. I don't want these orchids to be sucking up water constantly and then get root rot.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
