FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the 20cm pot?

The 20cm pot has a width of 13 cm, a length of 20 cm, and a height of 10.2 cm. It has a capacity of 1 liter.

Can I use this pot for other types of plants?

While primarily designed for orchids, it can be used for other plants that prefer good drainage and visibility of root systems, though its oval shape may not be ideal for all plants.

How do I know when to water my orchid using this pot?

You can monitor the root's color and the moisture level of the potting mix through the transparent sides. Dark, plump roots and visible moisture indicate you don't need to water. Pale, dry roots suggest it's time to water.

Is the material safe for plants?

Yes, the material is designed to be safe and durable for long-term plant cultivation.

How should I clean the pot?

Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. For tougher residue, use a soft brush with mild soap or a vinegar solution, then rinse well.

Does the pot come with drainage holes?

Orchid pots typically require specific drainage. This pot is designed to be used with appropriate orchid potting media that facilitates drainage. Ensure your potting medium and watering practices support adequate drainage to prevent root rot.

Troubleshooting

Pot appears cloudy or shows residue.

This can be due to mineral buildup from water. Clean with a soft cloth and a mild vinegar solution, then rinse thoroughly.

Algae growth on the inside of the pot.

Reduce direct sunlight exposure or wipe clean with a soft brush. Ensure good air circulation around the plant.
