Pots- opaque vs. clear Male
Default
That's the only real reason for clear (translucent) pots. Plants with chlorophyll in their roots can photosynthesize there, but it's not necessary.

The primary reason for using opaque pots (or putting the clear ones in a cover pot) is to inhibit algae growth, which is just an aesthetics issue.
