I bought 6 inch pots to use with these clips and can not seem to get them to hold. Do they have to be clay pots? I am very disaapointed right now.?

I have used these for years, but have only used clay pots. i believe that it's the lip round the top that makes the difference, although I have a large 10" pot that the lip does not fit inside the opening of the clip and it still holds. i have over 20 in my yard, all screwed to trees. I also use the screw hole in the clip to hang a hanging plant.

They do hold on clay pots... HOWEVER, you need to be careful. A little bump will knock them right off. I am disappointed about this.

I hung clay pots and just tried ceramic and it stayed. Try to slide the pot upward then it should move down a little , it should catch. Don't give up. You can do it. The pot does not have to have a lip in order for it to stay on. Hope this helps.

Hello Christine, I apologize for your inconvenience. the pot should be a standard clay pot with a lip as shown in the image with the hand. Other flower pots can be used , but it's important to have a lip that will slide into the Pot Klip. I'll go to your original amazon order and send a photo of the types of pots that are ideal. I hope this helps. Have a great weekend.

They must have an one (1) inch lip, plastic or clay, otherwise they won't hold. Try it with an empty pot first before they crash down and you lose all the soil and flowers. They fit a little lose, but mine never fell down. Good luck.

I've only used clay pots, as shown in ad and they work beautifully. I believe the bottom of bracket must hook securely under the "lip" of the pot. Really don't know if plastic pots would have that deep edge that the clay pots have.

Well, think about it...this rack will be suspended from the ceiling. When the weight of pots are on it, nails will not hold it up. I did not like the large screws with eye bolts that came with the rack. I went to Lowe's and bought even better: toggle bolts that allow for a screw with an eye to be inserted. No problem holding up pots and pans with this arrangement. Hope this info helps

In reading the directions, I learned the specific size pot I needed to use the kit. After measuring my own stock pots, I found them too short and chose to purchase another taller pot which works fine. I use the tongs I already had and did not purchase the accessory.

Im sorry. You can't do that. My Husband uses a 7" loom to make pot holders and these are tight on it..

These clips have a tight grip and should be capable of holding a steam mop. Make sure they (clips) have the correct diameter for the item (mop handle) to be attached.

I don't have this model so I don't know what kind of clips you have. I'd try emailing the manufacturer or the seller.

THe longer pieces, carrots, corn etc. are pretty long. The other items will probably fit if the pots are realisticaly sized. Hope this helps!

Only certain ones and I cannot tell you which ones. I did find that for my area having a taller pot was important. Check your root ball--they can be to shallow.

I don't know, but, do you know why they don't make the 1 1/2 quart pots anymore ? My aunt ( and my mother and I ) have had these pots for in my aunt's case 50 something years. She had a hole in her pot, and I can not find one. New !

I think it is to small. You may get it to work. Ive found most of them are very close in size but the clips are the trick. Getting them to work

i have several plants with pots between 6 to 15 inches. In smaller ones, I put one in small pots, and two stakes in larger pots. I had bought it very early before the vacation, so i can test how it will work - i have over 15 large plants, some of them 25 yrs old.. (inheritance from a friend) wanted to make sure they are not taken care while i was away.... I grouped the plants, used a water container shared by 3 or 4 pots. The water container needs to positioned correctly, otherwise they just pull too much water too fast. read the instructions come with, keep experimenting.. happy flowering..

I purchased three stands as well, and my pots are about 8" in diameter at the very bottom and the pots are angled. As long as your pot is tapered and smaller at the bottom, they shouldn't be cock-eyed. I haven't had a problem with that at all, and I've had them for a year now. I also got this one that another pot sits directly on top of, and it looks nice as well. Panacea 89164 Olde World Forged Pot Trivet, Black, 12-Inch

The capacity of the pot is not the issue. Measure the opening. I have one pot with an enormous opening, and it will not work for that one. All the others fit.

I think they would work for fine for herb plants-especially if you are starting them from seed. Of course as they grow and become root-bound, you would need to go to a larger size pot. You would also need to have some kind of tray under them because of the holes. Hope this answers your question.

I have looked for them but can't find them anywhere. What I'm going to do is use Aleenes repositional glue and glue the pans in. You can get pans the cheapest on eBay. With the glue you can make glue balls that holds well, but is not permanent. I think this will work.

I am using these pots inside glass pots - they are relatively soft and might stand up outside - my suggestion is get those clear plastic under liners a couple of inches wider than the base. I have not measured mine. But the pots of this kind I've purchased seem to be wider than the photos - seemingly shorter sides. I hope that is helpful (Happy Valentines Day!)

I actually bought a couple of those and found myself using silicone backed fabric pot holders. I like the larger size, got a firmer grip, can be used as a trivet and they don't get lost in the drawer. Hope this answer helps. Oh, I LOVE the dutch oven!!!!
