Orchitop pots for Orchids - review after using

Here is a review of the Orchitop pots after using them with some orchids for a few months.

First thing I will say is yes, these things are very airy and yes they will dry out faster. But it's not as fast as I expected. In summer time (temperatures at 243-24 min and 28-29 max) I needed to water every 4 days or so. I was honestly expecting to water every day or every other day.

I think a major role in this is the media, the Seramis addition really does keep in more moisture than the bark, so this might be the reason why the pots didn't dry out in one minute.

As for the orchids, well they are happy, they are growing roots and developing normally. Phalaenopsis was expected to do ok in this, the Vanda was a nice surprise, it is producing roots, has new root tips and is generally looking fabulous.

The environment you have will play a major role though. The hotter and drier it is, the faster the media will dry out, so keep this in mind when thinking if this pot would help you out or not. the type of orchid will be a factor too, I think these pots are better suited for orchids who like to dry out fast and love tons of ventilation.
