Default Question on clear pots

I'm looking for a source of clear, slotted orchid pots that are taller than wide (like one would use for Paphs). I am looking for 3", 3.25", 3.5", and 4" in tall sizes, like 1.5 times as tall. Anyone run into anything like these?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Got those sources (and have some of their pots). You're right, not tall enough for Paphs.

Just an idea, and I'm not being sarcastic.
But how about some of these and an exacto? Probably cheaper but maybe cheaper looking as well!?!


JUst an idea from a guy who has no better response....

Sorry, Ross. . .WISH I could find some clear ones for you (I've been looking) but you may just have to go with a custom pot from Erin Pottery.

Well, to cut a plastic cup, dull scissors are pretty safe too!

Okay, that was sarcastic, but all in good fun!

Oh those are cups aren't they. I was thinking the heavy plastic deli containers.

A non-sarcastic response to your sarcastic one ...
Dull scissors are more likely to demolish the cup (tear it/crumple it, etc) and could hurt ya in the process
