I think I still use some clear pots for my Phals only because I have so many.

Thank you for all the replies!

This was my main concern, is it detrimental to an orchid that has roots that have adapted to light, turned green & processing chlorophyll when you repot later and put the roots in the dark?

I like the idea of being able to see and monitor the conditions of the roots with clear.

I haven't tried s/h yet, but plan on using this method soon, and researching as much as possible first.
