New Generation Of Orchid Pot From Pöppelmann

A problem shared is a problem solved, as was the case when designers at Pöppelmann combined forces to create the new TEKU MCM 12 Orchid pot. Though it sounds easy, it is in fact the end result of a thorough analysis of comments and observations that have been noted in practice. With its asymmetrical drainage channels, the 3rd generation TEKU Orchid pot always stands upright without any wobble, even on mesh surfaces.

For the new pots, Pöppelmann has consciously flattened the rim. This offers two advantages for growers: firstly, the plants can be placed closely together from the outset when set out, and, secondly, the rim provides a good hold for modern spacing machines. Placing the plants closely together saves space and therefore energy, plus a lot of time thanks to machinability. Both aspects contribute to more efficient production.

This is all thanks to another of the many well-thought-out details that Pöppelmann always packs into its products. Stacking is possible thanks to the specially laid out stacking ledges on the outside. The ledges and the distinctive rim of the pot ensure problem-free unstacking in a pot dispenser.

Growers do not have to worry about damage to the leaves of Phalaenopsis, as the flat rim does not have any sharp edges. In return, the high translucency of the new pot has a positive effect on Phalaenopsis root growth. In addition, the new pot also fits standard planters available on the market.

One of Pöppelmann's main concerns has always been correct watering and drainage, so as to maintain a good supply of oxygen. The same is true for the TEKU MCM 12 with its graduated base. The drainage holes in the dome are supplemented by asymmetrical drainage channels, which lead excess water safely away. The graduated base provides excellent aeration of the soil.

It is also designed to allow plant supports to be easily inserted through the base. Patented support tabs fix the plant supports securely in place and hold them straight, providing a perfect hold for the Orchid panicles. The new TEKU MCM 12 Orchid pot is therefore much more than just a pot, it is an ideal cultivation pot system optimally tailored to Orchid production.
