Clay Pots

[britbloke]

I just found an inexpensive source for clay pots if you're close to Ft Myers, Florida.

Old Time Pottery has 4.3" clay for $0.35, out of 6" pots, 8" pots about $1 each.

I modify mine with 4 slots on the sides/bottom, because the first thing Florida growers told me was " maximize drainage, airflow and speed of drying".

It takes about a minute a pot using an angle grinder, much quicker than trying to drill holes...

Most of my orchids are still seedlings so I use a lot of 4.3" pots. Tony
