Colored 4' square pots ?? Other than black or green??

Posted by palmandan z4/VT (My Page) on

Hi from Vermont... I buy from Griffin, but would like to find some square 4" pots that are not black or green. I have found it easiest to offer more expensive plants in the black 4 and 1/2 inch nu-pots and the next step down in 4" green square dillens. That way I say to customers - "All plants in green pots are .... $$ whatever ..." So I would like to get another color for another pricing range.... - I would think terracotta would be available. Any suggestions? Milakowski (?) contact anyone? Thanks if you can help ---> Amanda

Hi and thanks - I ended up getting some of the terracotta pots from Summit through another supplier. The color's fine- they are smaller four inch than the ones I use - kind of float in the four inch trays .... and they have those darned squared off corners, so you lose soil.... but hey .... Now I can offer all clay colored plastic pots at $1.00.

I'm not sure how the paint pen would work as the plants get so big it would be hard to see any paint pen. I did have the bright idea of using colored tags and I ordered 1,000 orange tags. And I got 1,000 white tags that had the word "orange" on them !!! LOL

A can of spray paint goes a long way.
