Good quality and holes for proper drainage.
These are perfect pots for potting orchids. They appear to be of good quality and have numerous holes around the sides for proper drainage. Although these pots are sufficient for smaller orchids, I would buy a larger size the next time for my bigger plants.

Great for the next "step up size" for orchids
I couldn't find these in the local "big box" hardware stores, and needed them to replant orchids in the next size container. These were perfect. Plenty of holes for drainage. Sturdy plastic. These come in a variety of sizes for your needs. Very pleased to find them online.

Great orchid container
Great aeration! I'm very happy with how sturdy they are while still allowing some give. Worked great for my orchids.Update: 01/12/19 my orchids are absolutely thriving in these small plastic containers. I wish they made them in more sizes and colors. They have held up wonderfully to the plant growth, watering and fertilizers. I would rec for anyone needing a container for epiphytic orchids/plants

smaller than expected
These pots are nice and sturdy, and have plenty of holes in them for the air to get to the orchid roots. I guess I wasn't paying attention to the height of the pot, as much as the width when ordering, so when I got them, I was disappointed to see how short the pots were. I don't think any of my orchids will last very long in these pots, since they will probably out grow them quickly.

Somewhat fragile. Thinner plastic than expected. Came damaged.
These are stacked on top of one another and are plastic wrapped to the shape of the stacked pots. Ordered these 3x and twice it came with damage at "leg" support area of the bottom pot and thus had to return which is a hassle. Either this was already damaged at the warehouse or in transport - though this was adequately shipped with bubblewrap. This suggests a certain fragility to the plastic. Plastic feels thinner than the Chinese take-out and restaurant round plastic food containers (the latter get banged around and they don;t crack) . .At around $2.00 per pot, this should get to you in perfect condition. These pots are too low in height (3.15 " ) for my taste but I like that it has holes all over and price was one of the cheaper ones, despite the fact that I still find these pots pricey for what they are. The black hydroponic NET pots would have been preferable as they have greater ventilation and at half price but they are not transparent which is a feature I desired so I can monitor the roots. . Manufacturer should consider increasing height of these (to match the other plastic slotted pots in the market) and using a thicker plastic material for durability. By itself, it is not stable. But I put these into a bigger ceramic pot so it is aesthetically pleasing inside the house. Or put it into a lower height larger plastic container -- and either provides support for the pot. Time will tell if this plastic will endure.

Lots of holes for great airflow and drainage-no more root rot!
These pots have a lot of holes to provide air flow. I bought pots from a different vendor that used slits in their pots and I experienced root rot because the water wasn’t draining. I think these will work out much better.UPDATE: I’ve been using these pots since February. The drainage is fantastic. I contacted the Oregon Orchid Society. They told me that orchids like to be drenched and allowed to dry to where the roots become a silvery green (as if in a rain storm). So just water the mix, avoiding leaves. They told me this causes the orchid roots to grow in search of water. These pots drain exceptionally well, with little to no water left in the pot for the roots to stay too wet. I also planted my phals in repotme imperial dark mix and I use their FeedMe fertilizer and occasionally a rooting hormone called K-L-N (promotes root growth). I have new leaves growing, tons of roots, including aerials. It’s not blooming season so I’m excited to see what happens come fall. I also added a humidifier to keep the relative humidity between 40-60%. With these pots, I tend to need to drench them (not soak) about twice a week, once with FeedMe and the other with a flush of plain tap water to get rid of built up salts. So far so good!

I needed to repot my three orchids in larger pots and these worked out perfectly - excellent drainage and you can see what's going on with the roots. I just thoroughly water my orchids once a week - let them drain and place them back into their secondary decorative containers. They have all grown quite substantially since I've placed them in these pots - no complaints.

Expensive, but excellent quality
I got these pots for my phal. orchids and combined it with the Repotme Imperial Dark mix. A perfect match. My orchids are extremely happy now. Don't forget to pick up a drainage dish for these if you're not using them in a draining pot, they only come with the actual pots and nothing more.
