I design planters that I consider functional art, sometimes I even get it right! But anyway, I started an unrelated conversation on a /r a while back, and someone suggested I design an orchid planter since most of them are super boring. This was my attempt. I hope you like it.

Very nice! Looks like it's 3D printed, is that right? Do you plant directly into it or is it meant to hold an inner pot?

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, I designed and print them. I planted directly and dunk the whole thing in the sink when I need to water them. Or you can soak the bark and let it run into the drain tray which is a separate piece.

This looks great! ❤️ I agree that orchid planters are boring, yours look very colorful and interesting, you share or sell the print files by any chance?

By the way, I have couple of orchids in vintage glass coolers, just in case you find one and didn't think about it. One of them having yellow glass looks great with yellow and pink flowers 😊

Yes I do, take a look at imakethingsforu.com or directly at https://www.etsy.com/shop/Imakethingsforu

I would also love to see your vintage glass coolers. I'm imagining something fully enclosed, do you have the orchid in a separate pot?

[–] chiwiu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, they are really in a separate inner pot. 😊
