    Does anyone know where to get these? My father in law and I have been to quite a few garden centres and all we could find is the tall flower pots. We have quite a few African Violets and they look much nicer in squat pots than those tall ones. Most plants in the garden centres are in these squat pots. We have over 50 African Violets and I don't think it would be practical to buy 50 plants that are in squat pots in garden centres.

    Any ideas?

    Some garden centres/nurseries, (not the mass chains) and council recycling depots have loads of flower pots of all shapes and sizes that have been discarded. Usually free or nominal price. Give them a good wash in disinfectant before re-use though ;)

    Take a look at "economy pots" in the Two Wests catalogue - greenhouse specialists. They look like what you might need.
