Oh thanks Flo, I appreciate that!
Yes, if I had my choice offhand I would say for beginners and novices, Phalaenopsis, Paphiopedilums, Oncidiums, Latouria and Nobile type Dendrobiums, Maxillaria, Masdevallias, and Pleurothallis like plastic because they generally like to be grown more moist. Not wet but damp. Clay pots might dry off too quickly and they stay drier then they should.
There are others but are not encountered by many beginners.
Again. It is my pleasure to help. I tip my hat to you.
