The first type: purple sand basin
Yixing produces the best teapot. It is a kind of high-quality clay fired at high temperature, with good water retention and air permeability. Basically, it can be used for all kinds of orchids, and also widely used for planting orchids.
The second type: earthen basin
It is also very common to plant orchids in clay pots. Because clay pots have the advantages of good air permeability, good hygroscopicity and good drainage, they are widely used in orchid planting. Because orchids actually mainly need the air permeability of roots, they also have shortcomings, that is, they are rough and fragile, and their aesthetics vary from person to person. However, if they are placed indoors to decorate their homes, they may be slightly inferior, and purple sand pots are generally used.
The third type: glaze basin
The glazed flowerpot is coated with a layer of colored glaze, so that the flowerpot looks smooth, and then the surface of the flowerpot can be painted and embossed. As for the advantages, the water retention is better and the air permeability is slightly general, so you can choose plants with good air permeability to plant here.
