Questions & Answers
I've used these for orchids and other indoor plants in the past. I've noticed that using clear pots for orchids has resulted in better (and faster) growth because they don't filter sunlight and allow roots to photosynthesize and add energy to the plant. This, however, only works if the pot is not placed inside an opaque outer pot. Other indoor pots have been planted in these slotted pots as well. There is no difference in my opinion. These slotted pots serve as a "liner pot" for the plants I keep indoors. The potted plant is then placed in a decorative pot on the outside. I've either added more potting soil or decorative pebbles/small stones to fill in the gaps. The overall effect can be quite striking if you use a contrasting outer pot and/or pebbles/stones.
I've never seen anything like it. I simply inserted the slotted pots into larger pots. I have one in a pot that fits perfectly, and the other in a pot that is too big for it, but it works.
Yes, there are three of them. 8" pots.

About a month ago, I repotted my Phalaenopsis orchid, and it seems to be doing well in its new home. When I repotted it, it was in the middle of growing a new leaf, which has now reached full size. The pot's transparency makes it easy to see when it needs to be watered, and despite the pot's blue color, the roots appear to be getting enough light and air. I was glad they had an 8" pot because that was exactly what my plant required.
This is a lovely orchid pot, and it was the only one larger than 7 inches that I could find. The slotted sides allow for good airflow, and despite being tinted a lovely color, it is transparent enough to allow light to reach the roots and allow visualization of them. People, we need more big pots! (Have you ever seen a large catleya before, guys? This one will eventually outgrow its current 8 inch pot!).
This was not the case with my orchids. Instead, I used it as a liner for my ceramic/terracotta pots with my other indoor plants. I started by lining the slotted pots' sides with trimmed-down To prevent rapid drainage, use a large coconut liner. Then I did it again. As per usual, I planted. I put the newly re-installed re-installed re-installe I used pea gravel and other decorative pebbles to fill the gaps in my ceramic/terrocotta pots with potted plants. It turned out beautifully, and the contrasting colors (slotted pot, pebbles, and other pot) created an interesting effect.
It adds a splash of color and goes well with my orchid. I re- I potted one of my oldest orchids in this pot because it had so many roots that it required a larger container than usual, but I wanted to be able to see the roots to ensure they were doing well afterward. I can definitely see the roots, and she's doing fantastically well so far.
I replanted one of my larger orchids in this pot, and it's about to bloom again after several months. The color is appealing to me, as is the price. Ceramic pots are simply out of reach.
This is extremely beneficial in terms of allowing air to reach the roots.
Muy buena.
This spacious new pot would be ideal for my orchards.
