I have a few Kool-logs and Ray makes a good point about porosity. They do weep and need refilling frequently. I use them for masdevallias and orchids without roots and they seem to work, although it may be too soon to say as I haven't been using them long. But none of the masdevallias lost leaves in the summer and they now have a lot of new growth and I also haven't had any of the no-roots lose more leaves--so win so far!
Also, I tried the clay pot idea, but I had a hard time getting them to stay since the string I was using wanted to slide down and off. Also, it was harder to hang. The cool-logs look neat and are all ready to go.
I do wish they were a bit wider. Most are just an inch wide, meaning that it doesn't hold much water. As they get bigger, they get taller but hardly wider.
