Diving into pottery

[LittleDingus]

I have gotten into Orchids and started making these self watering pots. If anyone wants some let me know.

Warning: self watering pots for orchids are a bad idea. Any roots that stay wet will rot...and orchid roots wander. Orchid mix for phals (and many orchids) should be very open. The air gaps we try and squelch out for trees are great for epephytic orchinds like that one. Good soil is too open for moisture to wick properly.

That said: I love the pot and can see many other things in it

I call them self watering, but really it was a design to get away from a saucer as a drip tray. These also fit better on a windowsill.

Your orchid pots could be something I'm interested in for my carnivorous plants.

You do good work MWar 15. How about a large non-glazed rectangle or round, that is deep for a conifer? Medium/dark gray, Oxide red...u know what is acceptable.

I have been working on shohin pots lately these are all 4-5”

 

[mwar15]

Found some red clay and figured I would try some unglazed shohin pots

 

[mwar15]

The journey continues, I finally got a kiln and got it going. I’ll be able to fire up to 27”. Don’t mind the cracked pot….

Your dive has now lasted almost exactly 3 years. When are you coming up for air?

Do you have anything for sale right now? I'm looking for a square, unglazed pot, about 6-8".
