I have started keeping my Masdas cool by putting them in clay pots. It's a tip I read here on OB. The water evaporating from the clay causes the clay to cool and thus cool the root zone. I've read that you can grow Masdas in higher temps as long as you keep the root zone cool in this way. There is a company in the USA that sells 'cool pots' specially for growing Masdas but the main principle is this evaporation from the clay. I know that the pots of mine always feel cold to the touch.

I never knew that about the clay. Thanks for the tip! I'll have to repot quickly.

I thought most dracs sent their spike down through the medium, making a net pot or slated basket necessary?

This one does both spiking methods and the bottom of the pot is slatted. Hmmmm, that means a clay pit is out huh? I didn't even think of that.
