Neo on an olla

[AnonYMouse]

A big point I forgot to mention: this did not work as a self watering mount, it got too wet. I added LECA inside to try to wick water up like in normal S/H. Maybe this particular olla was just too porous, IDK.

I also tried a couple of Pleurothallids before the Neo but since I have a bad track record with Pleuros, the failures might not be relevant.

Only special steps were to rate how much water seeped through (ultimately futile) and feed externally, otherwise, all the usual rules applied. New roots starting (just like S/H, old roots will not grow onto new wet surface), figure out watering frequency, light exposure, etc.

If I were to try this again, I'd work out the seepage with a ceramicist (clay type, firing method, clay thickness, structure, glazing) essentially to deal with Pascal's law.

Or

Just mount like I would a wood mount.
