The pot was turned so the orange root was facing away from me when I've been looking in to check on it this past week. So I was sure surprised when I took it out for a full watering.

You are a MASTER at matching plants to pots. Marilyn

Thank you, Marilyn! But it's soooo easy with Vic's pottery! All you have to do is have enough of them to choose from. I have quite a few. . .not enough, but quite a few.

It was doing very well mounted but I thought it was drying out too much. . .even with me misting, morning and early evening. So I thought I'd try the pot, which I just happened to have sitting around empty. I thought it might be happy in it because of all the air holes Vic added in his design. . .the water drains through the mix, in that pot, super well.

Mine is a baby too. I can't WAIT for it to bloom! I hope you'll post photos of your blooms! I love the Aerangis!

Gwen, it looks great...of course

Thanks, Sue! What you can't see very well in the photo. . .is that the orange of the root, exactly matches the orange in the pot! It's sort of a chalky orange. . .really really a big surprise that the root matches the pot! What luck!

So glad you like my little potted up Aerangis! Thanks for looking at it with me!

Vic Harris at Erin Pottery. . .it's a family owned business. They make the best pots on the planet in my opinion!

Here's a link

He usually has new pots every week, on Saturdays. The pots go fast. If you buy five, shipping is free! If you find only a couple that you want, he'll put them aside for you, until you have five. . .then ship.

I've bought lots of the pots and have not had a single one arrive broken or chipped. He does an amazingly clever job of packing.

Tell him you're from the Orchid Board! It'll make him happy. He's the one that made the prize pots for the Neofinetia project.

Gwen, my new pots don't sit around long enough to do as you do. When mine arrive I just HAVE to put something in it. I'll post pictures of two new ones, potted up.

You are correct about the packing. I believe the mail man could play football with the packages. Trying to get the pots out of his packaging.......that takes major effort, time, and patience.
