Hi all...

Here's a question to prolong this thread ..... Why are mica
pots not
preferred show containers?
All my trees are in training (in mica pots), so I'm not overly
concerned
about purchasing a fancy ceramic pot, but I still can't figure
out why mica
isn't an accepted container for display.
Mine look good. (at least I think so)

Is it simply because ceramic pots cost much more, therefore
they must be
better ?



No. They DO look better. There are MANY more designed, colors,
glazes, clays, etc. to choose from and to match the tree to. The
pot is supposed to compliment the tree. Black/gray Mica pots
simply do NOT compliment some kinds of trees.
