I've always felt that growing plants in clear pots wasn't good for the plants. It just seemed to me that roots need to be "in the dark" beneath the soil level. For some reason roots growing against a clear-walled container doesn't seem, to me, healthy for the plants...maybe due to thoughts of algae, mold, or whatever growing inside the wall of the pot. Or, maybe in the back of my mind I wonder if the light, itself, hitting the roots isn't a good thing...maybe confusing the plants or something. I dunno. There's lots of small, clear containers that would be a good size for smaller plants...but them being clear, I shy away from using them. Anybody got any thoughts and/or knowledge on this? Thanks.
