I just thought I would let you all know that Novosel Enterprises has their 4" azalea pots on sale for 9 cents each. They also have their 4" standard round for 11 cents each.
So what do you guys use the most for your AVs? I have never bought any of the square ones before and was wondering what you all prefer. Do you like round or square better and what size do you use most?

4" pots on sale
I think the 4" round azalea is most generally used but a square pot makes it simple to give your plants the regular 1/4 turn to maintain symmetry as you have the 4 sides. Just a thought. Also squares are more stable and don't tip over as easily. I suppose it all boils down to grower preference.
I have pots that range from 2" - 8"
I like the square pots for propagating, whether we're talking AV leaf cuttings, or seedlings, or geranium cuttings... They fit nicely into those nursery flats, with no worries about their tipping over. I find it a little easier to judge summetry on an AV in a round pot when I'm grooming it, and the round pots are usually a better fit for the random "decorative" containers I use to display them when they're blooming..... although I like the tip about easy to do quarter turns in the square pots!
