Before we list the reasons why you should use transparent containers for growing orchids, let's recall that this flower belongs to the epiphyte species. In natural conditions, epiphytes do not live in the soil, but cling to another plant and send their roots into its bark.

Since these plants are often found on the surface of trees, it is not surprising that their root system is actively involved in photosynthesis.
This is the first reason why you should prefer transparent pots. In addition, thanks to transparent flowerpots, the owner of the flower has the opportunity to observe the condition of the orchid's rhizomes and the substrate in which it grows.
If we talk about which material to choose for a flowerpot - plastic or glass, then it is worth relying on the preferences of the florist himself.
It is worth remembering that plastic pots are more durable and cost an order of magnitude less than glass ones.
In addition, if the room in which orchids are grown is characterized by temperature fluctuations, plastic retains heat better.
