Shadegardener said:tarev - so the geopots offer more air to the roots? Is that a critical thing for orchids?
edible - My perception is that the fabric pots are pretty much for temporary use and it sounds like they would be useful for larger plants that are in a temporary location - not a final planting site. In that I don't have the space for a raised bed (which I'm guessing potatoes would definitely prefer), a smart pot or similar would be used only seasonally here and would have to sit above ground.


Yes, it is important for orchid roots to have good air circulation at the root zone, especially for the epiphytes.
