Constructed from thick longan wood slats held together with coated wire, the lotus-shaped baskets provide large gaps for roots to breathe and moisture to evaporate quickly—ideal for vandas, cattleyas and dendrobiums grown outdoors or in greenhouses. They are not intended as decorative indoor pots; their form prioritizes airflow and natural mounting over water-retentive features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these baskets help orchids thrive outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide slatted design mimics the natural crevices and exposed conditions orchids encounter when attached to trees.
