Stoneware Orchid Cachepot with Moon & Stars Design

This sky blue with brown accents orchid cachepot with its matching plate is made for growing orchids. Decorative air holes are cut into the carved moon and stars design decorating the pot to allow the increased airflow that orchids love. Air holes are also cut into the bottom of the pot that is raised above the plate to keep your orchid out of the water that collects in the plate. The foot of the pot is notched where it sits in the plate to allow air to circulate beneath the pot. This pot is sized so that a standard 4" plastic pot will fit inside if you do not wish to transplant the orchid.

Orchid Pot dimensions:
5"h x 5.5"w x 5.5"d
Interior at base: 3.75" diameter

Plate dimensions:
.75"h x 5.5"w x5.5"d

This pot can also be used as a luminary to hold a contained tea light or candle if you use a candle in its own container as the bottom has holes. Wax will drip onto the plate if the candle is not contained. Similarly, it can also be used to decoratively hold a small houseplant by leaving the houseplant in a clay or plastic pot to keep the dirt from escaping the decorative carving.
