Default Good site to look for supplies?

I was wondering what a good site for finding orchid supplies at a reasonable price is? I'm in the market for affordable planters and some potting stuff so I can start making my own mix. Is there some sort of site that has a wide array of stuff? Not anything crazy, just trying to make the most out of my meager budget.

There is firstrays the prices are great

I have also ordered from repotme they have lots of potting mixes and the stuff you need to make your own potting mixes but they are not that cheap.

Hope this helps

I have ordered clear pots and other things from Quarter Acre Orchids Quarter Acre Orchids offering the best selection of orchid supplies online!

I also hear Tindara is good: Tindara's Orchid Supplies ordering information

your local Orchid Society may order supplies in bulk, mine does. Its much cheaper. For pots and things -remember to try the local Home D, Menards or Lowe's. Around Fall-time they often have clearance sales of plant stuff.

Might look into joining an orchid society some time this summer. I actually have an ocean state job lot near me that sells ceramic pots for $1, might look into drilling some holes in them with a masonry bit.

Thanks for all the links everyone! I'm gonna be ordering some potting supplies in the near future it seems.

I like Repotme.com for potting media and Tindara's for fertilizer. I don't know if they're the cheapest. There are many orchid supply web-sites.

Kelley's Korner...the website is a bit slow but they have a nice selection of a wide array of products and the prices are very reasonable.
Kelley's Korner Orchid Supplies, We offer everything to grow great Orchids!

For large orders of sphag...Cal West Tropical is usually my go-to....

And, lastly, I do a bit of ordering from Robert's for a few things too...
ROBERTS FLOWER SUPPLY

As already mentioned...repotme is awesome and for smaller amounts is excellent but if you're looking for large orders of anything the prices can get a bit steep. Still...great customer service...some things you won't find anywhere else...and super fast shipping.

I've ordered from Tindara's and Kelly's. There's a place here in Florida that has a limited inventory BUT they have some of the best prices I've seen on some of the things I order. And some unusual things as well.
