Making my own ventilated pots!

[Phonelady]

This is us here in the Rocky Mountains.
I use bark with a little soil and well ventilated pots. Have to water once a week. Nice thing is, I don't accidentally over water. They dry out so fast here. I had to get a cold humidifier otherwise the little guys would have been desiccated!

Would you post a picture for us? I don't know what a bulb pan pot is. I would like to see what you are doing. I have a weird plant rack that the Hubbs made modified little shelves to fit. Maybe your bulb pan pots would work for me...
