Yeah right now its .96 or 6.95 for a pot to big in terracotta. So ninety six cents win!

holy crab, had no idea:-) I must say, I really do not look at prices much when shopping, stupid me I guess:-)

Well small town so it is either walmart or home depot who neither have orchid products. And I dont need a thousand net pots or clear pots so this works easier for me stress relieving to because I pretend im sayi g that I want to to a nasty professor when drilling!

So I can show I know how to use my hands and head as well, sharing my prototype of the Hygrolon cone, PVC pipe sealed on the bottom, 4 Hygrolon mounting blogs glued on the pipe, than some Hygrolon cloth glued on the bottom and also on the top with long overlaps that will go inside the tube where water will be held, so the water can wick both from the bottom and from the top. I have dry moss mix, which I will "paint" on it tomorrow with the brush, and start the process. Fingers crossed, this is my very first Hygrolon tube, and hope all will work as it suppose to

I will. I love when the moss starts to grow all over it and makes it actually GREEN, and than mini orchids in it, it looks amazing so I just had to try it on my own, little expensive hokus fokus must say, but if all works as I have it in my head, it will be much cooler than my mini vase vivarium and terrarium, which both turned great, regarding the fact it was first time ever doing anything like that:-)

Cool idea. Those pots look like some of the ones I use hmm... you've got me thinking about making some holes in them

[kindrag23]

They are just the ninety seven cent pots you get at walmart home depot etc... then a 3.00 black and decker masonry drill bit. Cheaper than the *Orchid pots* u can get by a long shot.
