This kit is specially designed to cultivate your orchid like a professional Thai orchid farmer. Check out the video to see exactly how the pros do it here in Thailand. Along with the tropical weather, it’s the Thai coconut foundation that is key to how they propagate. 🌱 HAND WOVEN: Individually handcrafted and designed to endure daily use, this multi-functional plant hanger and associated coconut by products adorn the garden walls and entrance ways to many Thai Temple gardens and are functionally designed to allow water to drain even if drenched in a monsoon rain. The metal hangar will fade to an oxidized patina over time that will also match the color of the dark reeds. 🌱 BASKET SIZE: Container radius at widest point is ~6 inches and the length is approximately 19 inches top to bottom (reeds vary slightly, as they are not mass produced) not including the metal hanging hook, which can be adjusted. These are ideal for larger plants, orchid medleys, vines, floras, cuttings that can be directed rooted in in the coconut pith and husk mulch. See video for best placement. 🌱 EASY CARE, SIMPLE TO CLEAN: Rinse with water and these beautiful decor baskets are quick to air dry in the sunlight. Please note that; as these handmade hanging baskets are individually constructed, there may be slight variations in color shade and/or may contain common bamboo fleck blemishes that occur naturally during each rendition of the drying process. Lots of love goes into the making of this traditional Thai handicraft, interlaced bamboo split reed hanging plant basket and the meticulous craftsmanship of this typically common-use garden ornament, is admired by all travelers that visit the Kingdom of Thailand. These Temple inspired “bird nest”, multi-purpose plant hanger trellis baskets, are seen in many of the Buddhist Temple flower gardens and are made of various materials such as sugar palm leaves and sage willow grass, but most often made from bamboo stock. Baskets have been used in Thai culture for many different purposes throughout history. They were created using materials that were easily accessible and abundant in quantity, such as reeds and bamboo. Although sustainability was probably not one of the reasons for its traditional use, bamboo grows very quickly and is able to replace itself at a high rate, making it a sustainable resource. Traditional baskets and woven products use strips of split bamboo that are intricately woven together. This makes them incredibly strong and durable. Only after the lengthy process of splitting and shaving these materials by hand, can the basket-maker start the weaving process. Besides being an outdoor garden appliance, these hanging baskets also function as one of the primary cultivation methods for orchid nurseries that can be found throughout the beautiful Thai countryside. The hot humid climate is superb for growing everything from orchids to cactus and these hanging baskets are an ideal way, to both water the plants and display them, at the same time. Our multi-purpose plant hanger basket collection is sure to appeal to your sense of appreciation of fine workmanship in the construction of these exceptional and practical hanging flower baskets.
