Default Phal repotting experiment

And a masonry blade in a radial arm saw puts marvelous slots in the side of
tall terracotta pots. I suppose a plywood blade would do the same for
plastic.

Drills with wood bits work for plastic pots, so do soldering irons. With

a
tile bit you can put holes in clay pots.

Well after failing to source a suitable 'airy' pot for my phal which
needs regular repotting as the plastic pot it's in causes the lower
roots and the stem to rot. So took a suitably flexible plastic pot of
the right dimensions and with an 8mm lip and spur wood drill drilled a
lot of holes in sides and bottom.

So the phal is now potted up in the new pot and fingers crossed.
