These are 8cm pots but they are square. As you say there seems to be a lack of shallow 8cm pots.

Are 8*8*9 cm OK for you? Than Chiemgau from Germany is the best choice-only 40 euro for 500 pieces.

Yes, finding the smaller half pots is not so easy these days.

Have you looked through the extensive list of Georg Schwarz kakteen. This is where I have bought quantities of plastic pots, and trays.

Thanks Jane. 7cm and 9cm. Why are 8cm pots so hard to get? :sad:

He has an excellent range, including just what I want, and he seems a bit cheaper than Uhlig, too. Thank you. I have just sent him an email to see if he will deliver to the UK.

Most of the professionals use Kuma pots from The Netherlands. 500 isn't a good number as the Kuma pots I buy are in boxes of 2400 and 500 is too small for wholesale quantities. Avoid the biodegradable ones though, they are designed to be thrown out and composted along with reject plants.
