orchids on clay pots
I am afraid I have no way of taking pictures, my pension does not allow for items such as a camera! Please try soaking the ollas in RO water, change the water often & make sure the ollas are completely submerged. The clays contain all sorts of minerals, which I am sure is the reason for the roots not fastening down as they do (Immovably when you need to remove them) on clean clay. If you can, hunt down pots that are fired at high temperatures - if you strike gently on the side of such a pot, it will ring like a bell. Lower firing temperatures will not give the same resonance. Always soak all clay pots for as long as you can - mine go into my fish pond where the fish use them as caves & hidey holes.
