Clear cups?

frogwash · February 8, 2011

Hello. Last year I used 24 ounce styrofoam cups for potting up my seedling, but these take up a bit of space on my bathroom counter. Yesterday I was at the market getting some little cups to start my seeds in and while I was there I saw the Solo Red Plastic Cups that so many here use for potting up their seedlings and which I was planning on using this year but next to them they now had clear and "NEW" orange tinted clear versions of the same cups. I kind of like the idea of the clear because this would allow me to see what's going on with the roots, not that I know what difference this would make to me. Are there any good reasons not to use the clear or moreso the clear orange?
