Light to hold & fill

Thought it was going to be small even with dimensions given. But its not its big the perfect size .well made very sturdy I love it!

This pot is perfect for repotting my orchid. I love the size, color and sturdiness of it. There are drain holes in the pot, which are perfect to avoid overwatering. Its a very good value for the money.

This pot is great for orchids! I love the double wall feature which makes watering easy. The holes on the inner pot are large enough to allow airflow but not so big that moss or potting mix spills through. I appreciate that the pot comes with a water dish too. This might seem expensive for a plastic pot, but its definitely worth it.

I like that it drains well, but not sure it's true air pruning. So to start with the easy stuff, the inside dimensions & construction. There are three parts to this pot: the solid outer pot (which fits like a glove); the inner slotted basket; and the very handy fitted saucer. The inside diameter of the slotted basket at the top is 7.75" and the inside diameter at the bottom is 6.75". The inside height from bottom to soil level is 5.5". To take the inside slotted basket out, you need to twist to the left and lift. To insert and lock it back to the outside pot twist to the right ... insert and twist to the right. Very simple and easy to do. Although can be more difficult if soil is trapped between the basket and solid pot. The bottom feet are 1" in height assuring that your plant roots will never sit in water. The construction is excellent and you can get many years' use out of it I am sure. The drainage is also excellent since there are so many places for the water to come out of and unlike other slotted pots since it has a fitted outer solid shell all the water drainage is directed towards the bottom. If you are afraid of losing soil, water it while assembled. But you can use a shower/rainfall head on your watering can and no soil will escape from the basked portion. I like to water it in the sink without the outer shell on to give the plant a chance to drain fully. I also like that it is white in color so that when you do place the pot outside the roots don't get too hot. An issue when living in Las Vegas, NV where it can get 110F during the summer. Overall the roots are protected and insulated and you can maintain humidity without overwatering. Now the bad. There is no space between the basket slots and the solid outer pot, so not sure that air pruning would actually be possible. If you never separate the pots and just use it assembled, overwatering is very easily done. Again, because the sides are never truly exposed to the outside air. Granted sitting in water will never happen, but he soil (if soil is used) can easily stay wet longer than desired. Also, removing the plant from the basket is challenging because of all the slots. Not only does the soil get stuck in them, but potentially new root growth as well. This means taking the plant out to either repot or prune, involves harming the roots. In a regular nursery pot, it simply slides out (although chances of root-bound spirals increase). In a true air pruning pot, the wall is removable so the roots are not disturbed at all. In short, if you buy this pot buy it for the looks and solid construction rather than air-pruning benefits or drainage.
