Orchid Basket for plate mounting with drill template

IDK how widespread this technique is in the English-speaking, but in Japan, we tie the epiphytic plants to a wood board. Anyway, here is a basket of orchid plants. The aerial roots grow on the wooden planks and then attach themselves. I also made a concave version to put drooping orchids on it.

In the photo I have Maxillaria variabilis and Phalaenopsis gigantea planted. I also planted Meiracyllium wendrandii and Angraecum distichum , so far they are growing fine.

How to use

I just drill holes in a 11mm board and bolt the back side down.

Drill 4 holes for the bolts and any holes for wire or string.

use an 11mm drill.

The hexagonal part of the bolt is M8 but hand turning will not be problem.

Wood is suitable if it is rot resistant. I use Yakisugi boards (probably "burnt timber cladding" in English, a technique of charring the surface of cedar boards with a burner).

There are no drainage holes in the bottom of the basket. If Sphagnum moss isn't dry enough, you can raise the bottom with orchid bark.

下垂性の奴は手前が凹んでるconcaveの方を使うといいかも(写真参照)

PLAで刷ると直射日光には耐えないので注意。

使い方

板に11mmドリルで穴を開ける（ボルト4箇所、吊るし用の穴任意）

ボルトで締める（六角のサイズはM8だけど手回しでいいと思う）

底面に穴ないので、乾くの遅い環境の人は洋蘭バークで底上げ推奨

セリア板厚の10～11mm前提だけど、要望があったらボルトの長さは対応すると思うのでコメントくださいー
