Product Details

Extra Large Clay Orchid Pots are statement-size terracotta pots, handmade in Thailand for specimen plants. Choose 10" or 12" round pots with cut-out hearts, teardrops or scales, or a 10" shallow round pot.

These are built for big plants: specimen Cattleyas, mature Vandas and Mokaras, Coelegyne, Grammatophyllum, Cymbidium or a cluster of Catasetinae. The open, patterned walls keep roots breathing in a large root mass that would stay too wet in plastic, and the heavy base anchors top-heavy plants. Beautiful on a patio or in the landscape too.

Handmade, so each pot varies slightly in color, size and shape. Very limited quantities — check the dropdown for available styles.

Clay-pot buying guide

Glazed vs. unglazed clay: general differences
Feature Unglazed clay (our pots) Glazed clay
Construction Exposed clay surface, without a glaze coating. A fired glaze covers some or all of the clay surface.
Moisture Porous walls can absorb moisture and allow evaporation. Glaze reduces moisture movement through the coated surface; drying depends on glaze coverage, openings and growing conditions.
Drainage Glaze alone does not tell you whether a pot drains. Check the actual openings and keep them clear.

All of our clay pots are unglazed, including the clay pots in this listing. Water can move through the porous clay and evaporate, making it well suited to direct potting, especially in wet or humid growing conditions. Drying still depends on airflow, watering and your growing mix.

Direct potting or cache pot? For direct planting, check that water can escape freely and use a chunky orchid mix suited to your plant, or grow suitable orchids bare-root. To use as a decorative outer pot (cache pot), keep the orchid in a removable draining inner pot. Check that it fits without blocking airflow, remove it for watering and let it drain before replacing. Do not leave roots standing in water; protect surfaces beneath the clay pot.

Choose by root fit. Choose the smallest size that holds the healthy roots without forcing or tightly packing them, with modest room for new growth. Avoid a large volume of unused wet mix. Sizes are approximate, not guaranteed inner dimensions; check the opening and depth for an inner pot.

Repotting. Repot when mix breaks down or healthy roots outgrow the usable space, ideally as new roots begin growing. Moisten roots before gently loosening them; do not pull roots attached to clay or threaded through openings. Use fresh, suitable mix and increase pot size only when the roots need it.
