Sun Bulb 52720 Better GRO Square Cedar Basket, 8"

I've been eyeing this planter every time I go to the botanical gardens. I finally decided to buy it for our new pergola. It's quality craftmanship. This particular item does not come with the 4-wire hanger, which was a plus to me, since I want to use my own chains. The price point was excellent.

I buy these 8" cedar baskets for orchids that we hang from almost anyplace in our backyard we can find. They handle heavy rain, high winds, high temps and humidity we have in Florida just fine, can't remember ever having one break on me, but I have had to take a few apart to untangle and cut some of the larger plants into smaller ones, because they were running out of space, and now they have plenty of room to grow into another large plant. They may be a little loose to start with, but when you get your orchid and the planting mix inside, they're just fine, glad I found them here from Sun Bulb, and at a very reasonable price. As you can see from my pictures, they hold orchids very well, my Mother just got a new White flowering orchid that will soon be transplanted into a basket, but for Christmas, we have left it in the ceramic pot that it came with. Much cleaner than putting the wooden basket on top of a table, and my uncle who gave it to her was happy to see it inside the house all Christmas day. Because we’re lucky enough to live in Florida, where we rarely need to worry about it getting too cold for them, we actually have some of the hangers, which I buy on Amazon, that the lemon tree has “eaten” the top of the hanger, and I guess it likes the steel for a dietary supplement. I try to have 2-3 extra baskets on hand most of the time for transplanting, I keep my extras inside a shed where the wood probably dries out to the point where most wood would dry rot, even pressure treated lumber, but it doesn’t bother these baskets at all. Yes, I like them this much to write the best glowing review I can, and I do pay for all of them, not one freebie in the bunch. Buy them, they are all that I’ve said and then some.

I wanted to move my orchids from pots to wooden baskets and these are really good and sturdy for the price. Happy with them for sure! Only downside is no hanger is included if you want to hang them.

Great quality and quick shipping!

I have a Tillandsia air plant, popular in Florida, in it. With the planter being cedar and formed in open sections, it is perfect for the air plant to naturally grow!

Great price 🫶

Received a slotted planters they’re good for my orchids. Eventually I will use them to plant them in.

When all the other baskets available are 3X the price, this is a great basket. That they are sturdy (at least mine have been) and my orchids seem to grow like crazy in them, this makes it a fantastic basket. I've bought the maximum several times now. They are the same baskets that you can get at the box stores. If you are growing large cattleya orchids, they are perfect.If I had a complaint (I don't really) it would be that I would like one size smaller at a similar price.

perfect just what i needs love this so much

Does exactly what it says on the tin for want of a better phrase

One of the pieces wasn’t nail in so it was loose, because it was made of with hardwood it took quite the effort to nail it back in myself.Would be nice if the seller checks for minor damages before shipping since the basket isn’t cheap

Excellent product perfect for orchids especially Epiphytes! But it should come with the hanging chains or an offer to purchase some to go along with the basket as well i think that the seller has missed a trick here. Should amend this really!
