Hi, I'm new to this forum and to houseplants. Have a lot of rooted cuttings and some plants in 4" pots. Have read Al's posting on soil and use it on my outdoor container plants with great results.
What do I use for pots for houseplants as far as the watering end is concerned ?

A pot w/ no holes ?

A pot w/ holes and a dish under ?

Any advantage to the "self watering " type pots that wick up water as they dry ?

I am not fussy bout whether they are plastic or clay. Would prefer plastic due to the breakage factor.

Indoor plants are all new to me and from reading here I can see as in other DG forums I have come to the right folks. Thanks in advance for any info, kdcon
