Littlefrog, you are right-they are EXPENSIVE compared to regular net pots!!! But I have a few with cymbidiums in them outside. But what I prefer for cymbidiums are the CD storage boxes.

These are only a buck at WalMart. I would
guess that their life in full sun is about 3 years but I am hoping for more??
