Pot Clip?

Sorry if this seems to be a silly question but..
I've read a few posts that mentioned clipping down a plant with pot clips so that it doesn't move too much. But...What is a pot clip and what does it look like?
Could someone post a picture of a Pot Clip so that I know what to look for?

Thank you

Here's some examples of pot clips at Kelley's Korner orchid supplies. KK is the only vendor I know of that offers clips for plastic pots as well as for clay.

Repotme.com also has clips available.

Boy, syndy. I can see how repotme is ferocious competition for small Mom and Pop vendors. Glad I don't have to compete for business with them.

I get mine at Home depot or Lowes, but I use them on terra cotta pots. Another great tip from a geek here (and I wish I remember who to give proper credit) suggested sliding a bamboo skewer through the top slat of the wooden baskets to hold a newly repotted plant into place and it works like a charm.

As much as I love Repotme, this is the absolutely cheapest place I have ever seen for pot clips. You can get 25 of them for $4-5 depending on the size. You can buy them in packs of 5 also. Heres the link:Jim's orchid supplies wire and miscellaneous products
