Bring the wisdom of Asian horticulture into your home with our Traditional Orchid and Airplant Basket . These stunning, handmade traditional orchid baskets are the perfect hanging plant holders for orchids and other air plants. While often sold in soil in the West, orchids naturally thrive with air on their roots. This hanging orchid basket is designed to mimic that natural environment, providing the ideal way to nurture your plants for more frequent and vigorous flowers . It's a gorgeous and unique natural hanging basket for airplants that elevates any space.
The Secret to Vigorous Blooms: Soil-Less Living
In their native countries, a vast majority of orchids are considered air plants because they grow as epiphytes —meaning they attach to trees for support rather than growing in soil. Their specialized aerial roots , often covered in a spongy coating called velamen, are designed to absorb moisture and nutrients directly from the air and rain running down the host tree. This hanging airplant basket provides that vital air circulation, supporting soil-less living for healthier root systems and more impressive blooms.
Authentic Thai Craftsmanship: Handcrafted for Performance
These baskets are meticulously crafted from natural bamboo and reeds , ensuring they are not only durable but also sustainable. Every bamboo hanging basket for plants is made using traditional techniques passed down through generations in Thailand, a country with a rich history of orchid cultivation . The baskets look infinitely nicer than average plastic containers, providing a beautiful aesthetic for your home while acting as a perfect foothold for your plants to thrive. If you travel to Asia, you will see these traditional baskets all over the place, adorned with beautiful orchids and other stunning airplants.
The open weave allows the orchid to extend its roots over the top of the basket and downwards—ideal for easy misting when feeding, and perfect for encouraging a beautiful cascade of flowers below the basket.
Versatile Use and Adjustable Features
While perfect for orchids and airplants , these hanging plant holders are incredibly versatile. They effectively mimic the natural crevice or foothold of a tree or cliff face. They can also be used as hanging cactus baskets or to house other small potted flowers you may have in your vertical garden .
This plant hanger measures 10cm / 4 inches across at the widest part and is best suited to pots approximately 3 inches in diameter. The overall length from the top of the adjustable hook to the bottom of the basket is approximately 46cm / 18 inches . The included hook has a simple sliding clasp, allowing you to easily adjust the height of your decorative hanging basket for plants as required.
Sustainability and Simple Care
Our traditional crafted baskets are sourced ethically from Thailand, directly supporting local craftspeople in the Northeast region. To clean your basket, simply wash it gently with warm water and hang it up by its own hook to dry—ideally in the sun. This easy care routine ensures your natural bamboo and reeds planter will last for years, beautifully housing your epiphytic collection.
Choose this bamboo hanging basket for plants to invest in ethical craftsmanship and a sustainable, beautiful solution for displaying your home botanicals.
