I did it! Bought a couple FrutUp yogurts and made one into a make-shift pot.
My husband enjoyed the Strawberry one tonight if anyone cares to try these yogurts
Below should be a couple pix.
I just drop-potted for now because it's still ending bloom.
Looked like it had a couple good roots, but most are dead or rotting. It has a possible basal keiki (I'm like 90% sure that's what it is), but I'm hoping I can keep it alive. I know those kind of keikis usually mean mommy is dying....
anyway, I is excitededed!! ;P
Thanks guys!
It looks fantastic! Strawberry is a favorite in my house too!!
And I second the motion for a trip to Orchid Trail. I'll take any excuse to drop in there. I love to wander through the collection greenhouse and see what the staff's plants are doing. Always something new to ooh and aah over
On that one I.... Well I used a kitchen steak knife and pair of scissors (basically spun around "drilling" into it). >.<
So dangerous, I do not suggest. I was just too lazy to get the drill out.
But I have since had my husband eat more yogurt and I used a drill which was way easier and faster and cleaner. Still have to go slow as to not tear the cup, but works great.
What ever works. I like the old tea cup, it's cute. I just ordered 3" by 2 3/4 plastic see threw from Kelly's Korner. They were only .50 a piece. I have 2 green ones just like them they have slits in them.
I was going to put both mine and my mom and sister's in them. But then my sister found a little bitty clay pot one of her kids had painted in school years ago so I put her's in there. It looks great! I had to have my husband drill a bigger hole in the bottom which of course lead to me having him drill holes in a couple of regular clay pots.
They are so cute that now I can buy what ever size I want and he can drill holes in them. So now I am trying to figure out if I want to put one in plastic and one in clay. Do I want to have to water it that much. I already have a couple of them that I have to water allot because they are in clay pots.
