If you have an IKEA nearby they are having a one day only sale Saturday on their 12 gallon clear containers with lid for $1.99. I picked up a bunch last year when they were on sale and I use them all the time for cuttings. The ad says limit 2 but they were not enforcing it last year.

I bought a few of those a couple weeks ago for full price:(
They do seem to work well for humidity chambers.
I can fit 3 of them on a 2'x4' shelf under 48" fluorescent fixture

Thanks for the heads-up! I must buy me some. Those kind of clear (w/lid) containers are very useful for fig propagation. Perfect sized (and cheap) for me too ...

Thanks George. I will visit tomorrow IKEA, not too far. All my rooting stuff was outside when the first big snow storm came and are still there with piles of snow over it. IKEA box will help though I am not rooting too many this year.

These are the same ones I picked up last year at their one day sale. They were 22" x 15" x 11" deep.

Thanks for this tip, we plan to make a trip over to our local IKEA in an hour or two, and I'm hoping there are still some available! My wife thinks we are going for Christmas ornament containers.....hehe hehe hehe, but WE all know better!

My wife bought me 3 more clear containers but they were out of the clear lids at the Paramus NJ IKEA today.
We bought the black lids and will try to exchange them for the clear ones when they stock up again.
