I have been seeing these on orchids at the florist shops. I got very excited and asked if I could get more pots like them-- but no one in the shops has ANY idea where the heck they come from. They just happen to be riding on the plants when they are shipped in.
Some have long narrow slits in the sides, others have a whole lot of tiny holes. They're transparent, some clear, some green.
These are not very small, mind you-- it's too bad I don't have anything in the shot for scale-- they are holding full-size large phals, the kind with spikes two feet high and flowers bigger than a palm.
I'd estimate they're maybe 4" wide and 6" deep? Ish?
They would make really awesome S/H containers. You can see the roots, and they get a lot of air, but the slits are narrow enough it will be hard for the roots to crawl out and get tangled, as would happen with a net pot.
Anyone have any idea where these can be found?
The common clear slotted orchid pots such as the ones at repotme top out at a squat 6" wide and 5.25" deep-- I'd really prefer taller containers to allow for the reservoir at the bottom.
Has anyone else seen these?? Can they be purchased anywhere? What sizes do they come in?? Gah! Do want!
Where on earth are these nifty slotted pots coming from??
