I have just brought a nice pot to repot a plant. Problems is I can't find a plastic pot that fits it anywhere. I need the plastic pot for drainage. Plant is indoor plant of helps. I've searched my house for some kind of food packet/milk carton to use instead but all too small. Any ideas?

You can get lengths of fibrous garden matting that is strong and porous, but retains moisture. With the help of Pinterest, maybe you could sew a container to go inside the larger pot.
Pinterest has examples of cloth pots, usually for make up, pens etc. but you could adapt the pattern.

Thank you, I'll look into that. Would be nice to find an alternative to plastic pots all together so this is gold.
