The "pots" are cheap, 9 oz, plastic drinking glasses, purchased from the grocery store! They're just the right size for this size of plant. They last for years and you can watch the root growth because the glasses are crystal clear. I just use a sharp pair of scissors to cut a couple slivers from around the bottom edge for drainage. For larger plants, I often use clear, plastic tubs, purchased from the deli counter at the grocery store.

Very nice lineup. I like the drinking glass idea as well. I've been using Ball brand plastic freezer containers. They are narrow and deep and I use a soldering iron to burn holes for drainage. They are thick walled enough to be sturdy and reuseable.

A beautiful group John.
I use the same "pot" suppliers as you. For larger Home Depot paint dept. is good.

When you guys use those drinking cups for pots, do you vary the size of your media at all? Like, using larger pieces at the bottom, smaller stuff higher up?

Fantastic party, I wanna be invited. :clap:
