I like 20-ounce styrofoam cups…three or four holes punched around the sides right down at the bottom with a pencil work great. They’re cheap (like me ), white, and are fairly durable with a little care. They’re also insulated. But, I don’t know if they sell them where you’re located.

That's what I use! I get them at Walmart. Many fast food joints also use plastic cups for 24 oz and larger sizes. Drill some holes in the bottom and you have some sturdy white pots. And that's why I'm fat

sounds like a good idea but ive never seen styrofoam cups for sale anywhere around here

there is a new garden centre opening in my area at the end of the month so ill check in there once its open

It looks like the UK has banned "single use plastics" which Styrofoam is considered to be. I don't think there's any use looking for them in your neck of the woods.

I did a little digging on Amazon and found these (not quite 15 cm tall, but they're still usable):

A large set of smaller pots:

The prices are decent, but the shipping charges add another 150%.

shipping is even worse when youre in the highlands

You mean you don't get free shipping? Does Amazon offer Prime in the UK? I guess a guy could make a killing if there were enough reasons to open up shop across the pond.

Then the buyer gets hit with VAT (Value Added Tax) when you ship into the UK, would be 20% for something like plant pots.
