  1. Meshpot Clear Plastic Orchid Pots

As we mentioned earlier, orchids require a fair amount of ventilation and room to spread out. Meshpot features clear plastic orchid pots that are dotted with holes for proper ventilation and growth. Made with food-grade PP, the pots are durable, sturdy, and long-lasting – going up to 10 years outdoors.

Why Did We Like It?

We understand that growing an orchid can be tricky – especially if you haven’t grown them before. The design and built of Meshpot Orchid Pots is patented and extremely helpful in facilitating these fussy plants’ proper growth.

The patented design of Meshpot includes air holes and an air column in the middle of the pot. The holes provide adequate ventilation, drainage facilities, and space for the orchid roots to spread out.

Furthermore, the specially made air column, which is a raised center in the middle of the pot, promotes root growth. This column allows the roots of the orchid plant to grow along the sides of the column. It also increases the ventilation of the soil.

One of the best parts about this orchid pot is how sturdy and durable it is. The clear plastic pots are built to last for a decade outdoors.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Due to its patent ‘hole’ design, the pot drains water very efficiently. However, this also amounts to a slightly messy underside of the pot, and maybe small puddles of muddy water as well. This can be a hassle to clean up for some.

The solution is simple – place a saucer under the pot to catch dripping water.

Pros
  • Non-toxic, food-grade plastic
  • Odorless and colorless
  • Patent hole and column design for better growth
  • Free orchid pot included
Cons
  • May cause messy puddles
  1. Link Solar Mesh Net Pot

If the thought of a messy orchid pot is turning you off, our next recommendation might be your ideal option. This orchid pot features not one but two pots – the inner pot is mesh while the outer pot is solid. It virtually eliminates messy soil and water puddles.

Why Did We Like It?

Our only gripe with the previous recommendation was the fact that watering could get messy at times. If you do not want to deal with the messy situation, then this orchid pot is excellent.

The product features an inner and outer pot made of durable, heat-resistant plastic. The inner pot contains holes to allow proper ventilation and space for the plant to grow freely. The outer pot can be placed to encourage drainage without creating a mess while doing so.

The solid build of the outer pot continually collects any water and debris. You can efficiently manage the mess by washing the outer pot thoroughly every week or so. Moreover, there is a small space between the inner and outer pot to allow adequate ventilation.

When orchid roots are not allowed to spread out and grow freely, they circle each other, making tangles and knots. To prevent that, this orchid pot features slits and holes, promoting healthy root growth.

What Could’ve Been Better?

The outer pot has been designed with fewer holes at the bottom just to allow air circulation and drainage. However, this can defeat the purpose of having a solid outer pot for some users, as minimal dripping can still occur.

This can be cleaned up easily, though, as the drainage from the outer pot is minimal.

Pros
  • Sturdy and durable design
  • Promotes growth and ventilation
  • Convenient size
  • Colorful options
Cons
  • Outer pot could have been completely solid
  1. ClearPots Orchid Pot

For our next recommendation, we bring to you the ClearPots Plastic Orchid Pot. As the name suggests, this orchid pot has a transparent body and a raised center with holes, allowing proper ventilation and drainage. This design also helps eliminate stagnant water from the pot, enabling your orchid plant to thrive.

Why Did We Like It?

One of the best things about this clear orchid pot is its transparent body. This simple design factor allows you to note your orchid plant’s growth while being careful about over and under watering it. Moreover, the clear plastic design allows sunlight to penetrate through, which is essential for proper growth.

The 6-inch, round plastic pot is the perfect size for growing an orchid plant in. While it’s not too large for any home garden, neither is it too small. The 1-inch raised center enables proper ventilation and also removes stagnant water from the pot.

Finally, the holes at the bottom of the pot are extremely important for drainage. As you might already know, orchid plants require a lot of care, water, and sunlight to thrive. They also need proper drainage, as over-watering can damage the plant.

The raised center design helps with all of this in a simple and efficient manner. Lastly, this plastic orchid pot is affordable and durable, making it an ideal choice.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Although the design of this plastic orchid pot is solid with holes at the bottom, there is one thing that could have made it better. Adding a few holes or slits along the side body of the pot could have allowed even better ventilation and let the roots to spread out further.

Pros
  • Transparent design allows sunlight to penetrate
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Affordable option
  • Enables drainage and ventilation
Cons
  • Holes on the side body could be added
  1. Trendspot Orchid Planter

If you want to move away from plastics and opt for a more environmentally friendly option, how about a ceramic orchid pot? Our next recommendation features a 5-inch, beautiful blue orchid pot. It not only has holes on its body but also has an attached ceramic saucer underneath for a mess-free experience.

Why Did We Like It?

If you prefer an aesthetic, small-sized orchid pot for your beautiful plant, this product might be a perfect match. This ceramic orchid planter features strategically placed cutouts, which enable proper ventilation as well as drainage.

Don’t be worried about the excess water seeping out and creating a mess. The designer has attached a ceramic saucer underneath the pot that will essentially trap the seeping water and give you a mess-free experience. Furthermore, the built-in drainage hole ensures that there are no issues for your growing orchid.

One of the best things about this ceramic orchid pot is the fact that it’s handmade. Although this quality increases the price of the pot only slightly, it is a welcome change compared to plastics.

For those who are very picky about their home decor, this ceramic pot is a perfect addition to your home. The blue color of this pot is striking; however, it blends in beautifully, complementing any room.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Overall, this ceramic orchid pot is perfect in almost every way. Our only gripe was the stickers the manufacturer stuck all over the body of the pot. These have been glued in well, making them near impossible to remove.

If this bothers you, try using alcohol or a commercial product to remove them.

Pros
  • Aesthetic design and appeal
  • Great drainage function
  • Portable
  • Thick and sturdy ceramic
Cons
  • Stickers are hard to remove
  1. Blue Sapphire Orchitop Carousel Orchid Pot

Are you tired of using boring old orchid pots that just look dull in your home? Well, our next recommendation might be just the product you were looking for. This plastic orchid pot comes in an array of striking colors. But that’s not all; its unique design gives it a stunning appeal in any home.

5.25" Blue Sapphire Orchitop Carousel Orchid Pot with...
  • Unique Design
  • Pot sits above detachable saucer
  • Stunning Colors
  • Allow for Maximum Light, Air Flow, and Drainage

Why Did We Like It?

First and foremost, the unique colors and design of this product struck us instantly. The blue turquoise color was particularly stunning and managed to look good, fitting into all kinds of home decor themes.

Coming to its design, this orchid pot features vertical tines placed at a periodic distance from one another in a carousel design. Moreover, it comes with a matching detachable saucer that enables the collection of dripping water and other debris.

Since there are no horizontal bars or holes in this pot, it allows maximum ventilation, drainage, and sunlight to penetrate freely. Although it is incredibly lightweight, it is also super durable and robust.

When your orchid plant grows too big for this 5.25″ pot, repotting becomes a breeze. Simply lift the plant gently and place it into a new pot, using the old one for yet another baby orchid!

What Could’ve Been Better?

If we talk about the orchid pot, we don’t really have any issues with it other than the fact that it’s really tiny! However, we also thought that this product was slightly expensive, especially for its small size.

Pros
  • Allows easy repotting
  • Lightweight yet sturdy
  • Detachable saucer allows designing options
  • No root rot due to the design
Cons
  • Slightly expensive compared to competitor brands
  1. Mkono Plastic Orchid Pot

If the smaller sized orchid pots just aren’t cutting it for you, maybe you need to consider a slightly larger one. The plastic pot features two pots – an inner mesh one and an outer solid one. The outer pot is matte white, giving it a classy and elegant appeal.

Why Did We Like It?

Many orchid lovers out there want a simple pot that will draw all the attention to their beautiful plants. Well, this plastic white orchid pot does just that – and a little bit more.

This pot measures almost 7 inches in height and is made of high-quality PP plastic. Its inner pot features a net-like design, enabling adequate ventilation and draining of the orchid plant. On the other hand, the outer pot features a matte white solid body, capturing any dripping water and debris efficiently.

Both pots have small holes at the bottom for proper drainage, which is extremely important for orchids to thrive. The design of the pot allows maximum sunlight to penetrate and keep your orchid healthy and growing.

The vertically slotted design of the inner pot allows the lateral roots of the plant to grow effectively. It eliminates root struggling and is an ideal design for the plant to thrive in.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Thanks to the aesthetic white color of this pot, it is prone to catching dirt and dust. This might ruin the aesthetics of the orchid pot over time. However, cleaning it off is effortless – a damp rag will do the trick.

Pros
  • Double layered design
  • Sturdy and durable
  • Included saucer
  • Ideal height for medium-sized orchids
Cons
  • Gets dirty easily
  1. Allen + Roth Orchid Pot

If you liked one of our previous ceramic orchid pot recommendations, you would like Allen + Roth Orchid pot. This beautiful pot comes in a classy white color and weighs just about 1 pound. Its aesthetic appeal makes it perfect for placing in any room of your house.

  • Ideal for indoor plants

Why Did We Like It?

Let’s get straight to the point – this ceramic orchid pot is exceptionally aesthetic. Its white-colored body gives it an elegant and luxurious appeal, making it fit into any room you put it in. Moreover, the flower-shaped cutout holes offer ventilation and circulation and add to its aesthetic appeal.

Moving over to its functionality, this ceramic orchid pot has a diameter and height of 8-inches. This makes it perfect for your indoor, medium-sized, orchid plants. The strategically placed cutouts ensure that your fussy plant gets enough drainage, sunlight, and air to help it thrive.

There is also a small saucer attached to the bottom of the orchid pot. This has been designed to capture any excess water, soil, or debris that falls through the potted plant.

The depth of this orchid pot makes it a perfect buy for small to medium-sized plants. Once they grow a little, you can easily transfer them to a larger pot.

What Could’ve Been Better?

In terms of aesthetics, this orchid pot is absolutely stunning. However, the flower-shaped cutouts are not entirely practical, as soil may fall out through the holes more often than you would think. It’s easy to fix, though – using a few strategically placed stickers or using moss to seal the holes.

Pros
  • Aesthetic design
  • Easy to move around
  • Attached saucer
  • Great for air circulation
Cons
  • Cutout holes might cause the soil to fall out
  1. DAN Market Clear Orchid Pot With Holes

Are you trying to grow multiple little orchid plants in your home? You may need more than one orchid pot for the job.

Why Did We Like It?

While larger orchid plants require large-sized pots, if you’re just starting to grow a nursery, smaller pots are the way to go. We liked most about this product because it was simple – both in terms of design and functionality.

The Clear Orchid Pots feature strategically placed oval cutout holes all over its plastic body. These holes have been designed to provide drainage facilities, allow air circulation, and enable sunlight to pass through without hassle.

Moreover, its transparent body ensures that you can minutely observe your little orchid plant’s growth patterns. It allows you to keep a check on its growth and not engage in over or under-watering the plant.

As for the size, this orchid pot is perfect for little plants that are just starting to grow. Of course, once they get bigger, you can easily move them to larger pots without hassle.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Most competitor brands are providing orchid pots with attached or detachable saucers. This ensures that you can enjoy a mess-free experience of watering and raising the plant. However, this feature was missing from the orchid pot.

Adding this little feature could have made the pot better, in our opinion.

Pros
  • Small and easy to handle
  • Allows sunlight to penetrate
  • Enables drainage and ventilation
  • Flexible and sturdy built
Cons
  • Does not have an attached saucer
  1. rePotme Slotted Clear Orchid Pots

If you liked one of our previous colored plastic orchid pots, you would love the color options available on this product.

Why Did We Like It?

Not everyone likes black, white and transparent orchid pots. Some plant lovers prefer beautifully colored pots that add aesthetic beauty to a spot. Well, these plastic orchid pots come in an array of stunning colors that add aesthetic appeal to any room you put them in.

The pack of 8 orchid pots features different sizes for different orchid plants. Whether you are just starting to raise a small orchid plant or planning on transferring it to a medium or even large-sized pot. You don’t need to worry about the hassle of buying more pots once your orchids grow out of their current ones.

We also appreciated the strategically placed cutout holes. They are designed to optimize ventilation, allow sunlight to penetrate, and facilitate drainage. However, the slots are not too large, causing the soil inside to spill out of the holes.

Lastly, the pots are UV protected, which is a great bonus.

What Could’ve Been Better?

In terms of the build quality and design, these orchid pots are excellent. One minor design flaw we noticed was the fact that the pots do not taper at the bottom.

This design doesn’t allow you to place the pots inside other decorative pots. It isn’t impossible – just challenging to find the right outer pot.

Pros
  • Differently sized pots for all growth stages
  • Aesthetic and simple design
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Ideally sized cutout holes
Cons
  • Pots do not taper at the bottom
  1. Sun Bulb Octagon Cedar Basket

If none of our previous recommendations were quite aesthetically pleasing as you would like, you might enjoy our next product. This orchid pot is octagonal-shaped, made of beautiful natural cedar. With horizontal wood pieces stacked on top of one another, it gives a striking appeal to the design of the pot.

Sun Bulb 51720 Better GRO Octagon Cedar Basket, 8"
  • Unusual and attractive Octagon shape
  • Provides excellent drainage
  • Handcrafted, natural wood basket
  • No assembly required

Why Did We Like It?

Well, it’s hard not to like the unique octagon shape of this orchid pot. Its design is not purely decorative – in fact, this pot has great utility as well. Weighing just 1.3 pounds, the orchid pot is lightweight and easy to carry around.

The wooden design adds a stunning aesthetic to the pot. Moreover, it comes fully assembled with symmetrically stacked, horizontal wooden pieces. The gaps in between each stacking make the design even more appealing as well as functional.

With a sturdy build quality, this orchid pot has been made to last. The galvanized wire eyelets allow you to hang this pot from any wire or thread. The superior design provides excellent drainage to your orchid plant.

This orchid pot is the perfect size for a growing plant. The comfortable design of the product allows you to repot the plant once it grows larger without causing any damage to it.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Due to the design of the orchid pot, you may experience soil and debris falling out of the slots. However, this depends on the kind of soil mix that you are using. You can also choose to use a mesh onion sack or a liner to prevent this from happening.

Pros
  • Super aesthetic design
  • Easy to handle
  • Wire eyelets for hanging
  • Sturdy and durable
Cons
  • May need to use a liner or mesh
  1. Muzhi Orchid Pot

Are you worried about leaving behind your orchid plant when you go on vacation? Maybe you should consider a self-watering pot! Muzhi Orchid Pot features a 3-set pot consisting of an inner net or mesh pot and an outer solid pot. The additional wicking rope allows you to fill up water for self-watering.

  • Additional wicking rope is for Self Watering when you go out...

Why Did We Like It?

First and foremost, let us talk about the design of this pot. This set of 3 pots features an inner, black, mesh pot that provides excellent drainage and air circulation. The outer white pot is solid, designed to capture any running or dripping water and soil from the inner pot.

There is a small gap between the inner and outer pot, allowing proper ventilation and air circulation. Moreover, this gap stores any excess water which the orchid plant can imbibe over time. Of course, you can choose to throw this water away if you want.

Both the pots are made of a sturdy, durable PP plastic that is made to last. Furthermore, the black and white color combination is striking to the eye and looks extremely elegant.

The additional wicking rope has been provided to allow the pot to self water your orchids. This is especially helpful if you are stepping out for a few days and don’t have anyone to look after your plant.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Although we can’t pin this as a design flaw, it is something we would like to point out to you. The design of this orchid pot allows standing water to sit at the bottom of the pot until you throw it out. This might become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and bugs.

Pros
  • Elegant color combination
  • Excellent designing
  • The self-watering feature is great
  • Lightweight
Cons
  • Stagnant water may attract bugs
  1. Better-Way Orchid Pot

Coming to our next recommendation, we have the Better-Way Orchid Pot. This beautiful pot is not only aesthetic and ornamental but also extremely functional. The ceramic, white pot comes with a saucer attached at the bottom, trapping any water or falling soil. The simple design fits into any contemporary setting with ease.

Why Did We Like It?

The white, ceramic aesthetic looks gorgeous, fitting into any home decor. Complete with the butterfly-shaped cutout holes, this orchid pot has a modern appeal. The attached saucer at the bottom is advantageous for trapping excess water and any fallen soil.

Although the pot is white, it is relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regularly wiping it down with a damp cloth will keep the ceramic shining and looking as good as new. That being said, the white ceramic body also attracts more dust and dirt compared to other colors.

We found the size of this orchid pot to be perfect for small to medium-sized plants. However, if your orchid grows larger, we recommend moving it over to a bigger pot to allow it to breathe more freely.

What Could’ve Been Better?

Although the butterfly-shaped cutout holes look extremely aesthetic, they are slightly large. This makes it challenging for some types of soil mix to stay inside the pot – as they often fall out in small chunks from the holes.

Pros
  • Durable built quality
  • Attached saucer
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Glaze finish
Cons
  • Cutout holes may cause the soil to fall out
  1. Better-Way Orchid Planter

If you prefer a slightly richer looking decorative orchid planter, then you will love this option. This product from Better-Way features a beautiful, white ceramic orchid pot. The most aesthetic part of this planter is the Christmas pattern printed on its body. It features two Christmas trees in the front and shiny stars at the back.

Why Did We Like It?

For those who were looking for the perfect Christmas present for a plant-lover, there couldn’t be anything better than this. The white ceramic orchid pot features a stunning Christmas tree pattern on its front. Moreover, it is covered with shiny gold stars all over the back of the pot.

An ideal size for a small-sized orchid plant, this pot is an excellent option for indoor use. Of course, you can also place it outside your home as a decorative pot.

The cheerful colors and floral design look fantastic in every home. However, it also serves as a perfect ornamental pot for your office, patio, bedroom, and even bathroom. Since the product is so lightweight and portable, you can change its location as many times as you fancy!

What Could’ve Been Better?

Unfortunately, this orchid pot does not have any holes or slits like its competitor brands. This does not allow the roots to spread out or the plant to get enough air circulation as others. However, its wide base and mouth will enable the plant to grow vertically without any restrictions.

Pros
  • Aesthetic and fashionable
  • Perfect for gift-giving purposes
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Ideal for small-sized orchids
Cons
  • No cutout holes or slots

Orchid Pot Buyers’ Guide

Well, with that, we have finally completed our list of recommendations. We hope you got some pretty great ideas about what kind of orchid pot you’d like to buy for your own little plant buddy.

But before we sign off, we have a few more things to tell you. When buying an orchid pot for your plant friend, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Let us take just a few more minutes of your time and tell you about these critical factors to remember.

  1. Ventilation

As we mentioned right at the beginning of our guide, an orchid plant requires ventilation to thrive. Without this, the plant is prone to suffocating. Moreover, the holes provide room for the orchid to spread out its roots and grow freely.

When looking for the best orchid pot for your plant, consider this factor. It is best to opt for orchid pots that are designed with strategically placed holes or cutouts. The size and shape don’t really matter much, as long as your plant gets enough air circulation.

Orchids also require a good drainage system, as they can’t thrive in too much water. Having holes at the bottom of the pot will facilitate this process.

  1. Clear Design

Orchids are quite fussy plants. They require an adequate amount of sunlight to grow well. While you can always choose to place your orchid plant outdoors, you might prefer keeping your plant indoors at times.

During these times, it is crucial to ensure that your plant gets adequate sunlight. Opting for clear or transparent pots can allow more sunlight to penetrate the soil and get to the plant.

  1. Size

Size is one of the most important factors to consider when purchasing an orchid pot. You don’t want the pot to be too small, eventually constricting and suffocating your growing plant.

When it comes to small orchid plants, you can opt for a small-sized pot for them. However, keep a close eye on their growth. Once you notice the plant getting bigger, we recommend switching to a larger pot, allowing them to spread out freely.

If you are unwilling to buy pots continuously, you can opt for a pack of orchid pots. This way, you get the same design and aesthetics, and you can also save some money by choosing a pack rather than individual pots.

  1. Material

As you might have noticed from our extensive list of products, there are different types of materials for orchid pots. From plastic to ceramics and even wooden pots, there are many options to choose from.

Well, the kind of pot that you should choose depends on your primary requirements. Plastic pots with cutout holes might be the most versatile and functional option out there. However, the ceramic and wooden orchid pots are more aesthetic compared to plastic ones. They are also more environmentally friendly, which is something to consider.

  1. Budget

Another important factor to keep in mind is your budget. Having a pre-set budget ensures that you don’t overspend. Of course, we must mention that while maintaining a budget is essential, you must not opt for low-quality orchid pots, as they will eventually hurt your plant.

Plastic pots are typically the most affordable option; however, their quality can differ depending on the manufacturer you choose. You can opt for a more robust material that will be long-lasting and does not damage easily. Of course, you can expect to pay a slightly higher price for these orchid pots.

  1. Quality Of The Pot

Just because you want to stick to a budget doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the quality of your orchid pot. Fortunately, you will find several products in the market which are high-quality and affordable.

We can give you a small tip – go through the buyer reviews carefully before picking any orchid pot. This will provide you with an accurate representation of the quality, size, and aesthetic of the pot.

Verdict

And that’s a wrap! We have finally reached the end of our guide, and we completely understand if you need a little breather. But before you go, we have one last thing to convey.

When it comes to choosing the best orchid pot, it is always better to go for a larger, high-quality pot than opting for budget picks. Your plant will thank you for it by growing into a healthy, large-sized orchid.

Overall, we thought that the Meshpot Clear Plastic Orchid Pot was a good option for most orchid-plant parents. That being said, we also liked the design and aesthetics of Blue Sapphire Orchitop Carousel Orchid Pot. Apart from that, we recommend the Mkono Plastic Orchid Pot primarily because of how simple and elegant it looks, while also being completely versatile. 

Well, here’s wishing your orchid a happy, healthy, and long life!
