We do something for our annual show so people can get an
appreciation of what Utrics do. It is easily achieved by planting
your Utric in a small pot (or clear plastic glass) with holes in
the base and then placing this in one of the plastic glasses you
mentioned (yes the flimsy ones work). The water level is kept up
in the outer glass and soon the utric will grow out of the pot
into the plastic glass, much the way they do in the water trays.
You can then view the world through the clear plastic.
