Where to find new pots
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy new orchid pots online for repotting? I am looking for a 7" pot. I have buying larger ceramic pots at a local garden store, but they are out of stock for the year. One of mine that I had on reserve broke during a move. Thank you for all your suggestions!

Tindara and Repotme are places I've ordered from also.

Try your local charity shop too. Ours is Goodwill and I have found many odds and pots.

Chula is my go-to source of pots, but Kelley's Korner and Tindara are other good sources. All three have better prices and don't hose you down on shipping like RepotMe.

I have bought from Green Barn Orchid Supplies greenbarnorchid.com, they have a very wide selection and excellent service. (Pots I am able to find locally but they have some mahogany wood baskets that are 'way better than any wood baskets that I have been able to find closer to home.)

What's everyone's preference of pot material (plastic,, ceramic or wood baskets)?

The answer to that is a big "DEPENDS".
Depends on your conditions, the plant, your cultural habits and any other variable you can think of.
---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------
Be specific:
I have name of plant.
My medium of choice is ______.
I grow in window sill/under lights/shadehouse/greenshouse.
My typical summer temp range is ___-___.
My typical summer R/H range is ___-___.
Get the idea? You will still get multiple answers but they will be less general.

My preferences: net pots, clear plastic pots with slits on the side, Rand Aircone square pots. If I have a top heavy plant, I pot in a net pot and stick the net pot into a terra cotta pot.
