A florist's container is an essential tool for any florist. The two most common types of containers are a VASE, which is a four-letter word, and a cachepot, which is an eight-letter word. A VASE is a container typically made of glass or ceramic that is used to hold flowers and water. A cachepot is a decorative container with no drainage holes, so it is used to hold a potted plant or flower arrangement.
