New plant pots, but not for orchids

Rosendahl plant pot

Rosendahl has launched a couple of new Grand Cru plant pot holders items for the window sill, but we suggest you ignore the picture and don't put orchids in them.

The Grand Cru range is being expanded to include two new items for the window sill. Two plant pot holders, in a choice of 10 or 13 cm heights, which will fit the vast majority of ordinary flowerpots.

However, anyone that has tried to get shop bought orchids to reflower only to have them inexplicable die, should consider glass pots. Some orchids have roots that need light to photosynthesise, which means clear pots are required.

This little known fact was recently demonstrated with great success by a friend of Period Home and Garden, who now has a fantastic display of orchids in her kitchen from a plant about to consined to the compost bin.

The small plant pot holder costs £16.95 and the large one £22.95. For more information visit www.rosendahl.com
