3.25" wide (at the top) x 3.75" tall square Waterdance pots.
Lightweight, durable, and relatively inexpensive. Here at the Orchids for the People nursery, this is our go-to pot for "4inch" plants!The advantage these pots have is the bottom. Instead of drain holes, these pots simply have a screen over the bottom. This allows air to easily circulate and penetrate the pots from the bottom and oxygenate the roots.
Not only that, it also eliminates water pooling in the bottom of the pot eliminating the biggest source of root rot. In addition, any fine, decomposing potting medium falls right out the bottom, eliminating the accumulation of anaerobic "mud" in the bottom of the pot. Plus, these pots have "feet" at each corner which raise the bottom of the pot up off the table allowing for even better air circulation around the bottom of the pot.
When used with our long-strand coconut fiber, we think it is one of the best ways to grow orchids!

Note: holes are too small for orchids that flower out of the bottom of the basket such as Stanhopeas.
Well-established, near-blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.I'm excited about this new in-house Anacheilium hybrid! The flowers, which are non-resupinate and about the size of a quarter, have butter-yellow petals with a sprinkling of purple dots. The nicely rounded white lip is accentuated by purple stripes. This is the first year they have bloomed and most plants have had 3-5 flowers per spike. We expect the flower count to be 5-10 flowers/spike as the plants mature. Spring-summer bloomer.Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall with a slightly drier rest period in the winter.
These are seedlings so the flowers will vary slightly from plant to plant.
A small, epiphytic, vining (the only Anthurium that is a vine), creeper widely distributed from southern Mexico to Central and South America, where it grows in a variety of habitats, at altitudes between sea level and 2700 m. It grows a well-developed system of roots to support the fleshy stems with elliptical leaves, glossy green above and mottled brown below, an upright or sometimes pendent inflorescence followed by very attractive, lavender, pearl-shaped berries. Care: This is an easy to care for plant! Bright indirect light, temps 58°F-80°F, and regular watering and light feeding year-round. When repotting use 50/50 small orchid bark and soil, or any orchid potting medium. May also be potted in a hanging basket or mounted.
An Orchids for the People in-house hybrid!A very nice compact, upright, easy-to-grow orchid. The flowers are 1.5" wide with yellow petals and a wide, pointed white lip. The petals, sepals, and lip all have purple spots radiating from the center of the flower. The flower spikes produce 3-8 flowers.Care: Bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall, with a drier rest period and no food in the winter.
Brassocattleya Valencia Beauty (Brassavola nodosa x Cattleya Interglossa). Well-established blooming-size plants in 3.25" pots. Substantial price breaks if you purchase through our Wholesale & Volume Collection! (Purchases from the Wholesale & Volume Collection may not combined with orders from other collections)This is a remake of Brassocattleya Valencia Beauty using 2 great, large-flowered parents (pictured). These plants are seed-grown seedlings, not mericlone plants, so each one is unique. If you like to get your plants judged, this is your chance to give a plant a clonal name! Also pictured are a trio of siblings, so you can see the diversity so far in this hybrid. Plus, the flowers are relatively large in proportion to the compact growth habit of the plant.Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall, and let dry between light waterings in the winter.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. Limited quantity available!This is a large-leafed (16"+) bulbophyllum that stays very compact for its size. This species does equally well mounted, in hanging baskets, or in a pot. Flower spikes that are nearly 2' long and covered with up to 50 small, white, pleasantly-fragrant flowers (unlike most other Bulbophyllums). This species tends to flower all at once (in the spring for us) and puts on quite a show!Care: cool-warm temps, indirect light and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size division in 3" clear net pot.Blooms randomly year round with single flowered inflorescence that bears a burnt orange flower with dark spots. Flowers are about the size of a quarter.
Care: Cool to intermediate temps, and likes shade to indirect sun. Regular year-round watering with light feeding.
Blooming-size mounted plants. We imported these plants 6 months ago but held on to them to ensure the plants were healthy and strong (they are!). All plants being sold have new roots and shoots post-importation.Bulbophyllum skeatianum var Yellow is a great miniature species from Malaysia and Laos that produces yellow flowers that bloom summer through fall. These are vigorous growers and will grow great potted or mounted and can also be grown well in a terrarium or on a windowsill.Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, daily light misting, light fertilizer 2x/month when growing new roots or leaves.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.Beautiful flowers are about a 1/2 inch across with mahogany petals that have a crystalline white margin. The lip is bright yellow.

Beautiful semi-peloric flowers! The lip and petals are purple and the sepals are green with purple spots. New growth has dark pigment spots which is indicative of spotted flowers. Fast growing and showing great hybrid vigor!Please note: These are blooming-size seed grown plants, not mericlone plants. Each plant will be unique. So far, all have followed a theme: semi-peloric with purple petals and lip, and green or white sepals with purple dots.Care: Bright indirect light, regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a slight drying period in the winter.
