I haven't been into gardening long enough to have build up a mortician's list, but some of the plants that have died on me include: 3 Anthuriums (they developed brown/blackened spots on the leaves and just gave in) and 3 phal orchids this year (rotted away)
It's a really nice pot, but I think it just holds too much moisture and too little air for epiphytical orchids to thrive...
