Clear pots help take the guesswork out of monitoring your plant's health. You can check on root health and growth without disturbing those delicate roots, and keep an eye on the moisture level without sticking your fingers in (bonus: no more dirt under your fingernails!).
Size
Rain Clear Pots now come in 9 sizes (full list below).
This is the Rain 7 Mini, the smallest in the range.
6.5cms wide across the top
7cms tall
4.5cms wide across the base
Perfect for propagation of cuttings, seedlings, corms, baby plants, african violet babies and more.
(note volume below is based on filling to the top with no plant, and no allowance for leaving a gap at the top for ease of watering)

What are Rain clear pots made of?
Rain pots are recyclable (recycle code 5), made of the same type of thermoplastic used for kids lunchboxes and medicine bottles.
I prefer this type of plastic for plants because it has:
- High chemical resistance to reduce leaching, making them a better choice when using fertiliser so nutrients stay available to roots and don't build-up over time.
- High heat resistance, handy for sun lovers indoors, and for cleaning with hot enough water to kill any baddies if you ever get pests. Also top rack safe in the dishwasher.
- Great clarity for use when you want to see what's inside, ideal to keep an eye on root health and check moisture level.
- Low moisture loss making it easier to predict when your plants need watering again, and a great option for heated, dry-air conditions like a typical kiwi winter.
- BPA free for peace of mind.
Support ridges for extra strength
Although they are hard to see once potted up, look closely and you'll see all the Rain pots have fine support ridges running down the inside of the pots (they are smooth on the outside).
These add extra strength and sturdiness, great for plants on root roids that like to get pushy, like ZZ plants. This design allows for strength while still being thin enough to retain high clarity, so you can easily monitor root health. Still thick enough to reuse over and over. Definitely not a single-use throw-away.
Drainage for water and air flow
Great drainage for a little pot, with a ring of 6 drainage slots running around the perimeter of the base for free flow of water to help increase airflow and reduce the risk of fungi and root rot.
