I do try to do my homework. Some plants are easier to research than others though and luckily Paphs have quite a big following of enthusiasts and experts, which helps.
Our equivalent local Dollar (or Pound) Stores never seems to have any ordinary clay pots. Occasionally large and glazed, but never the good old standard ones. They seem to prefer selling the plastic ones.
Strangely enough I found a few mini (1-2 inch) clay pots in a Textile Craft Store (of all places)! Needless to say I bought the last 4 - haven't used them yet but I have them ready if required

Luckily I found 5 standard sized (approx 4-5 inch or 11-13cm) for £1 from a Charity shop. Other than that it's on-line and order big to make it worth my while. Hopefully they will become more popular where I am, but for now I have enough set aside (now all I need are the plants

)
