Hanging Orchid Baskets (1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 6), Wood Vanda Baskets, Orchid Tree Hangers for Indoors or Outdoors

These handmade wooden hanging baskets are suitable for a variety of plants, including orchids, air plants, and staghorn ferns. The baskets are crafted in Thailand by local villagers using discarded teak wood off-cuts from furniture production, ensuring the wood is durable and resistant to rot, warping, and splitting.

The baskets come in three different sizes - 10 inches, 8 inches, and 6 inches wide - and feature a square design. They can be displayed either hanging or standing, indoors or outdoors, creating a visually appealing presentation for your cherished plants.

The key benefit of these baskets is the excellent airflow they provide, which is essential for the healthy growth of orchids and many other plant types. The gaps between the wooden slats allow for optimal air circulation, a critical requirement for air plants to thrive.

For smaller orchids, the included mesh inserts can be placed in the bottom of the basket, allowing you to then add a well-draining potting medium such as bark chips or coconut husk. This helps to secure the plant and provide the necessary substrate. For orchids with larger root systems, the roots can be carefully threaded through the gaps between the wooden slats.

Alternatively, you can sit the plant on top of the bark or moss-filled basket and drape the roots over the edges. Another option is to invert the basket and allow the roots to cascade over the sides, which can be particularly beneficial for root separation and air exposure.

These versatile baskets are suitable for a wide range of orchid varieties, including vandas, dendrobiums, and more. They are especially well-suited for orchid growers in hot, humid climates, such as Florida and Southern California, where the thick teak wood and sturdy wire construction can withstand challenging weather conditions.

By purchasing these baskets, you are supporting the livelihoods of the local Thai villagers who handcraft them from recycled materials. It's a sustainable and eco-friendly way to enhance your plant display while contributing to the economic well-being of the artisans.

Whether you're an experienced orchid enthusiast or just starting to explore the world of epiphytic plants, these handmade teak wood baskets offer a unique and practical solution to showcase your flourishing collection. Their versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal make them a valuable addition to any plant lover's repertoire.
