The idea behind the clear glass pot was good... the roots do photosynthesize sunlight, but no way to drain excess water was not good. I use clear plastic containers from the deli department of my local grocery store as quart size pots for my plants. They are clear, the plastic is easily trimmed or drilled for drainage holes, you can keep an eye on the roots around the edges of the pot. good luck with your re-potting session. That's when you can get your hands dirty!
