Any recommendations for places to get clear plastic pots? I have a couple plants that need to upsize and heard those are good for keeping an eye on roots. I couldn’t find any at Lowe’s. Thanks!🪴

Idk, but I like to use empty soup containers from my pho. Just grab a soldering iron and it goes straight through easy (I don’t use a fancy one, I just need something that melts the plastic enough to create a hole).

Amazon, repotme. I also use net pots from mega greenhouse store in 32oz restaurant supply containers.

I buy mine on Amazon and EBay and also reuse clear soda bottles that I poke holes in using a soldering iron :)

Here to say I didn’t know a soldering iron would be in my plant essentials—but I use it regularly!!!! Not only for drainage holes, but holes to convert pot to a hanging pot!!! And yes you can make additional holes after plant is potted without a problem.
