Thai Coconut Coir Bird Nest Hanging Orchid Planter Basket - Set of 2

About this item

• TOTALLY UNIQUE: Handcrafted in the Southern villages of Thailand, these “Patio Bird Nest” style of hanging baskets are beautifully designed for both form and function. The natural coconut coir is created from the husk of the coconut that soaked in water for approximated 4 months so the fiber can soften, break down and then dried in the sun.
• SKILLFULLY CRAFTED: Thai floras are world renown and this extra thick coir mat basket has plastic pot insert that provides a sturdy structure for multiple plannings. This thick coir is porous but once doused, it retains lots of moisture and has been used for ages in Thailand as the best way to nurture orchids and draping floras. Ideal for medium plants, orchids, vines, floras, cuttings that can also be directed rooted in a planter.
• HAND WOVEN: Individually handcrafted and designed to endure daily use, these multi-functional plant hangers adorn the garden trellises and entrance ways to many Thai nursery gardens and are functionally designed to allow water to drain even if drenched in a monsoon rain. They also have been known to serve as bird condos for small swifts and sparrows.
• BASKET SIZE: Container radius at widest point is 6 inches and the hanging length is approximately 12 inches top to bottom (lengths vary slightly, as they are not mass produced). The medium basket is approximately 4 inches wide by 8 inch deep and both come with a plastic insert pot to maintain shape. These Thai baskets are popular for both potting soil and air flora.
• NURSERY TESTED: The Thai climate is brutal on anything the resides in the garden. Monsoon showers and intense tropical heat can disintegrate even the best of planting pots. Request you also visit the PANWA store above and view the myriad of orchid planters we offer!
