Well after failing to source a suitable 'airy' pot for my phal which
needs regular repotting as the plastic pot it's in causes the lower
roots and the stem to rot. So took a suitably flexible plastic pot of
the right dimensions and with an 8mm lip and spur wood drill drilled a
lot of holes in sides and bottom.

So the phal is now potted up in the new pot and fingers crossed.

Drills with wood bits work for plastic pots, so do soldering irons. With a
tile bit you can put holes in clay pots.

And a masonry blade in a radial arm saw puts marvelous slots in the side of
tall terracotta pots. I suppose a plywood blade would do the same for
plastic.
