Fernland industries at Yandina sell just about every style plastic pot known to man. I havnt been there since they moved from Nambour a year or two ago, but I used to get all my orchid pots from them. No idea if they do plastic bonsai pots as I wasnt into bonsai then. They are basically wholesale to the public, but actually charge wholesale prices, not retail advertised as wholesale. Can't remember exact prices, but I think I used to pay about 50cents each for black six inch orchid pots. They have a big range of stock too. You can even buy fertilisers of various proportions by weight, instead of pre packed bags/containers.

If you are desperate or want to save some $$ get hold of some larger format, 33, 40, or even 55cm pots and cut the top half off with appropriate poet tool , my tip is to mark a line first to save yourself the mystery of why didn't that match up :palm:

Went to the Canley Vale Nursery a little while ago and they actually had Bonsai pots made of plastic.
Don't remember how much and unsure about mail orders but worth a try maybe.

You can buy these orchid pots in 3 different sizes. If you contact Port Macquarie Injection Moulding, they are in Port Macquarie NSW. There contact number is 02 6581 1735. I live in Port and have bought these pots from this company.
They send these post all over the world.
