Default Help with my Phal watering system/finding decorative pots with no holes

Hello

I currently have 12 phals varies sizes (in 4,5 and 6" plastic orchid pots).

I've been keeping them in decorative pots, taking them to sink, watering them, leaving them sit in the decorative pot 5 min. then draining and putting back in their pots and return to their spot. This has been working for me...

Except now that my phals are growing in size they are outgrowing their decorative "phal" pots that came with them in the store. I'm having a hard time finding pots with NO HOLES to put them in and keep them there while they soak.

I've tried not using a decorative/ceramic pot and just leaving them in their plastic pot but when they are in flower they are very top heavy and fall over.

I"ve checked Lowe's, Menards, Home Depot, the plastic pots all have holes, very few have ceramic pots no holes.

Any ideas? Or should I do another watering type system? I"ve thought about just taking them to the sink, watering them and put them back (no soak) but worry this isn't enough water for them. But they are still top heavy without a heavy pot.

And just curious - putting a few of them in a basin with shared water to soak is not recommended, right?

Thank you
