cascades are difficult to place on the ground- If you have to put a cascade on the ground, or for packing, put the whole pot in a baggie and tie it tight around the trunk.

[IBC] Cascades
Dear IBCers:
One of the things that I used to do with cascades was to fit a piece of the plastic screening (for screen doors) around the trunk of the cascade, and then bring it down around the out side of the pot and either tape it or use rubber bands. I would lay the pot on its side every other week during the growing season, and face the end (the apex of the tail) towards the sun to help it grow toward the light. Of course, when I had to put the tree awas for the winter I used to put the pot on its side, as mentioned by Jim. Carl L.
