There are tons of modern spiral ribbed flower pots out there. However, when looking for one that fit the dimensions I needed, I couldn't find one, and unfortunately, only STL/STEP files were available. Therefore, I made a fully parametric version myself, so that it's easy to adjust to specific dimensions. In the attached fusion360 file (f3d), adjust the parameters marked as favorite (Modify→Change parameters) to fit the inner pot of your flower pot, i.e. height, top diameter and bottom diameter. You can also tweak wall thickness and rib parameters if you'd like. The default profile (shown in the pictures) has the following dimensions: 108mm top diameter, 71mm bottom diameter, 105mm inner height.
The 2 mm default wall thickness gives the pot a sturdy look/feel, but it prints well in vasemode as well if you want to save filament. If you print in vasemode, remember to adjust the inner/outer diameter to match the reduction in thickness. Pictures show Bambu PLA matte charcoal.
I have found that it helps to change parameters gradually if you're experiencing errors in fusion360. For example, if you want to scale all parameters down, it helps to scale height and top/bottom diameter together in steps instead of adjusting one of those parameters right down to the desired value.
Inspired by this video (not mine), but tweaked the design and adjusted some steps to make it fully parametric:
