Question - Wood Vanda Baskets

[Grandma M]

I have left a message with 3 different vendors asking this question. No one has answered me so I'll try asking here. Hopefully someone will answer my question.

Will a 5" pot fit into a 6" octogan shaped wood basket? I have a couple of vandas ordered which I have been told will be in 5" pots. I would like to place the pot into an octogonal wood basket. I need to order the baskets and don't know what size to order. I'm not sure if the 6" measurement is an inside or outside measurement. I prefer not to use a larger basket unless necessary.

I prefer not to disturb the roots anymore than necessary, at least until they adjust to my growing area.
