Thank you. It's turning into a sauna now though. 42.5 today, so I have put more shade cloth up. |

it's just my opinion; I think you use too large pots.

Well, the root mass on a lot of those plants is so great, shoving it into a small pot is just not on. If you look at the pots, you will see that they are wide, but very shallow, to allow good air penetration. |

Agree! But apparently it works for Bil. I do not have the luxury of space to employ this potting culture.
Praying Mantis, lady bugs, and other carnivore insects are always welcome in my garden! |

Yeah, they do take up space, but I am counting on good display when they have 8-10 canes per pot. |
