You are looking for a business that supplies nurseries and wholesale growers. If you are in the southern California, try American Horticultural Supply or Farrand Enterprises. Otherwise contact the manufacturer (ITML) and inquire about a distributor near you.

The wholesale nursery world is mostly NOT online. Don't expect to find to many bargains on the internet.

Smart pots are a great way to kill plants. Customers bring them in all the time. Fungus and pests get into the water supply and kill the plants from the bottom up. It's the next worst thing to putting a layer of rocks in the bottom of your pots.
