If you have a Dollarama or something like that around your neck of the woods. Check out there. I got some nice 2 Gallon or something pots for $1 each. If you wanted 50 pots, even if you could get them online for half that price you will probably still end up paying $50 for them because of the shipping.

Thanks! I looked at his page and it just makes me want to go take a pottery class!!! I took one a while back and made several orchid pots. I may need to take another to make some pots for my succulents. I wonder if my mom still has all our clay and glazes and what not. ...

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I know this is probably a repetitive question you all get here. ealdwood, thanks for giving me so many names. I have had the tendency to rot things in pots, mini hostas and mini roses, so I knew I needed some guidance. I'll be especially careful with those two you pointed out, and careful not to knock the leaves of key lime pie. I will try to plant according to how they grow, also. I can see some that look like they'd be the best to cascade over the sides, for instance. breton2 I've been gardening for a while, but I've never seen anything labeled grit. Is that something I'd find at a pet store? I'm guessing it's the same as coarse sand? ....At least I know it's not the coarse cornmeal used to make grits. :-) I was surprised the MG cactus mix seems to have so much peat in it. I'll lighten it up further. lgteacher, good thing I asked because a lot of info I googled said to put a layer of small pebbles on the bottom, but what you said makes sense. I'll skip that and concentrate on making a mix that's fast draining.

Here is another couple of options, http://www.tropicalplantproducts.com/category/56-potting-media.aspx have bought from them for many years and picked up locally, they are fairly priced and I believe they ship as well. Located in Apopka FL, near Orlando https://ofeintl.com/ If you're ever in Miami, try OFE international, I used to have a commercial account there and got excellent prices, however they would occasionally run out of key items, so always confirm availability first. Most orchid shows will have someone selling supplies, check out show calendars for your area...
