| A community pot (aka compot) is just a larger pot with many seedlings planted together in it. Often the plants do better this way initially. Here's a pic of a dendrobium compot of young seedlings. Even though it looks like a big spreading plant, this is about a dozen plants with only one or two pseudobulbs each. They are planted in a 3.5" pot, in sphag. I usually leave seedlings in the compot for about a year before potting out. The ones in the pic had been in the compot for about 6 months at the time the photo was taken. |
