Made By Local Village People In Thailand From Discarded Off-Cuts Of Teak Wood

Local families in Northern Thailand make these orchid baskets from discarded pieces of teak wood. They cut the wood to the right size, drill holes & then put them together with strong wire & nails. By buying this product you are supporting the livelihoods of local village people in Thailand.

Choose Different Methods to Display Your Orchids Roots Through The Basket

For orchids which substantial roots like vandas, thread the roots carefully through the gaps in the bottom of the baskets.

Roots Over The Basket

An alternative method is to sit the plant on bark chips inside the basket, then drape the roots over the basket edges.

Basket Frame Upside Down

Method 3 is to put the basket upside down and drape the roots over the sides. A really great option for root separation and airflow.

Roots Inside

For smaller orchid plants like some dendrobiums you can put the roots inside the basket and add a potting medium like bark chips.

What sort of orchids are these baskets suitable for?

Many different orchids can go in these baskets. See the 4 potting methods above for more suggestions. Orchids with long roots can be threaded through the slats in the bottom of the baskets for example.

What are the baskets made of?

They are made of recycled teak wood off cuts from teak wood furniture making. It’s a good way to make sure that scrap wood doesn’t go to waste. Teak wood is hard waring and resistant to rotting, warping and splitting.

Do the mesh pads need to be used?

If you are threading an orchid’s roots through the base you don’t want to use the pads as they will get in the way. But if you are using a potting medium it is helpful.

If my orchid has outgrown its basket should I remove the basket before putting it into the new basket?

Not necessarily. It can be difficult to remove a basket without breaking all of the orchid’s roots. You may want to simply put the basket inside a bigger basket.

Why are these baskets better than others?

These baskets are also made for orchid growers in Thailand where the weather is hot and humid. With thick slats of teak wood and strong wire holding the baskets together they will suit even hot places such as Southern California and Florida.
