Handmade Woven Thai Coconut Coir Bird Nest Hanging Orchid Planter Basket Set

These "Patio Bird Nest" style of hanging baskets are a unique, handcrafted product originating from the Southern villages of Thailand. Beautifully designed for both form and function, the natural coconut coir used in their construction is carefully prepared to ensure optimal quality.

The coconut coir is obtained from the husk of the coconut, which is soaked in water for approximately 4 months to soften the fibers and allow them to break down before being dried in the sun. This meticulous process results in a material that is both porous and highly absorbent, making it an excellent choice for nurturing a variety of plants, including orchids and trailing flora.

Each basket is skillfully crafted, featuring a sturdy plastic pot insert that provides a solid structure to support multiple plantings. The thick coir mat used in the construction is renowned for its ability to retain moisture, a key attribute for thriving tropical flora. This traditional Thai method has been employed for ages as the preferred way to cultivate orchids and other delicate, draping plants.

Individually handwoven, these multi-functional plant hangers are designed to withstand daily use and the rigors of the Thai climate. Ideal for medium-sized plants, orchids, vines, and cuttings that can be directly rooted, the baskets are also known to serve as cozy bird condos for small swifts and sparrows.

The baskets come in two sizes: the medium basket measures approximately 4 inches wide by 8 inches deep, while the larger version has a container radius of 6 inches and a hanging length of around 12 inches from top to bottom (lengths may vary slightly, as they are not mass-produced). Both sizes feature a plastic insert pot to help maintain the desired shape.

The harsh Thai climate, with its monsoon showers and intense tropical heat, can be challenging for many planting containers. However, these handcrafted baskets have been thoroughly tested and proven to withstand the elements, making them a durable and reliable choice for gardeners and plant enthusiasts.

Visitors to the PANWA store are encouraged to explore the wide range of orchid planters available, which complement the "Patio Bird Nest" hanging baskets and showcase the versatility and quality of Thai craftsmanship. Whether used for potting soil or air flora, these unique and functional products are sure to enhance any indoor or outdoor garden space.
