It’s easy to check the roots to see if it is time to water.These are the perfect size for re-potting my dying mini orchid that I've had for 3 years in it's original pot. it desperately needed to be re-potted since it was starting to die on me, so i ordered these 3" diameter pots, but they took almost an entire week to arrive. i fear they might've arrived too late to save my orchid. if they had just come just a few days sooner, I think my orchid would've had a better chance of survival. i re-potted her as soon as they arrived so hopefully she pulls through.Worked well for my mini orchid. Needs weight on the bottom though since it’s so light-weight.Perfect for reporting my small orchid plants. I needed a pot that was slightly bigger than the existing pot and this was perfect!I used these for my orchids and they are a perfect sizeI only needed a few pots and the 3 pack was perfect.Only negative I can say is that some of the side holes have to get recut, no all of the holes were completely cut, but it's easy enough to fix.
