Used orchid basket
used orchid basket for ideal air root formation
This used orchid basket from Thailand is the ideal choice for epiphytic orchid species with a pronounced air root system – such as Vanda, Ascocentrum, Rhynchostylis, and others. Made from sturdy black plastic, it offers an open, well-ventilated, rot-free structure that perfectly mimics the natural habitat of these tropical beauties. The basket size of 10 × 10 cm allows roots to grow freely in all directions and is excellent for hanging cultures or combinations with coarse substrate, wood wool, or cork pieces. As a used original piece, each basket shows slight signs of wear – a mark of genuine practicality and sustainable reuse.

Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.
Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.
Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.
In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.
Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
