I grow all my orchids in these pots...
Like some others they just go nuts in them.
To keep the mix from falling out I place a thin layer of sphagnum moss between the potting mix and the holes.
I also don't find the saucers on bottom much of an issue.
The drainage holes are normally raised off the bottom of the saucer.
I just pour in a cup of water and tip it over for a second or two.
The rest of the water that drains after that isn't ever enough to reach the potting mix from the saucer.
I do get most of mine from a local nursery and not HomeDepot or Lowe's.
The glaze on mine is thicker and more glass like than the ones from those stores.
I do have a few though that are from HomeDepot.
So far so good.
