I could not get your email addy so here is the e-mial.
Hi Alistair;
Doing this privatly an you will see why. I worked a few search engines
and looked for Luwassa pots and bingo, found out the basics. What I did
was go to a dollar store and buy a plastic tub with a lid. I took a 4"
pot and made a hole that would permit the 4" pot to be pushed thru the
lid of th tub just until 1/2 the pot was in the tub.The inserted 4" pot
had an orchid in it. The concept was that when watered any excess water
would drain thru the holes in the 4" pot and collect in the tub. This
provided 4 things for me;
1; It permitted the 4"pot to drain completly
2; It provided humidity. (the water in the tub was not deep enough for
the bottom of the 4" pot to touch the water so roots did not rot.)
3; it kept the small 4" pot from toppeling over in a breeze.
4; gave me a "ball park" figure of when to water again.
I will admit it's not the prettiest sight, but it works .What you
think?
