Chantell could p/u a bag of the clay balls for me if you have the time and inclination- I have several hoyas I want to repot - thanks in advance-no worries if you can't

Chantilly thank you，but I will pass for now. I only have one orchid to pot. Will use fancier stuff after I get better at growing this plant.

Yes, frenchy...NP

donner--
I can bring you a ceramic Orchid pot (with the plastic insert) if you like.
I have collected quite a few. They come in different colors. Any preferences?
Any "No--No's?

Chantell, if you could grab me a bag of those clay balls, too, I'd appreciate it! I wonder if they'd work as a hydroponic growing medium, too... might experiment.

Gita, thank you. Yes, an orchid pot will be great! Any color will do. Love them all.

Maryland Hydroponics has 10 Liter bags of clay pebble growing medium for $8.21 http://www.dchydro.com/cgi/com...

Cool, I didn't know about them! Bookmarked their site. Shipping would probably eat up the difference in cost betw. their product & Ikea's, though, unless somebody lives close enough to swing by. They're in Laurel, about an hour away for me (we get down there sometimes but generally only on a weekend to visit friends).

Jill, they aren't too far from me, I could swing by there this Saturday to pick some up. Let me know.

Robin, that would be great! I'll be happy to split the bag with Frenchy (unless she wants a bag to herself, in which case I'm good with a whole bag). Thx!

Chantell, thanks for finding the product... looks like we can save a few bucks if Robin picks it up.

I'm tempted by their basket tops for 5 gallon buckets, too... How cool would it be to grow your own hydroponic cucumbers or tomatoes in winter? I might try a DIY rig, instead, so I could use a storage bin or decorative (no hole) pots to hold the water. Just found hydroponic fertilizer pretty reasonably on Amazon.

Robin - Might you pick up a bag for me as well?

Jill - I can either split a bag or get a whole one-which would you prefer? Also, is there any way you can let me know how much I will owe you for all the stuff I'm Buying? If not, I'll just bring lots of cash

Chantell, gotcha down for a bag.

Robin!!! Please PM the total to me when you know. 😃

Would anyone like a piece of snake cactus or an aloe? These are from my sister's house in Florida. The snake cactus is a climber, I need to repost it with a board or large branch it can climb. It roots easily.
The aloe is from her yard, it is pretty big, these are pups she bought me. I will have to see if I can find and post the picture of her next to the aloe.

Robin - does the snake cactus have soft spines or standard stiff ones?

The spines are more like pointed nubs, not a needle type spine. I'll get a close-up picture tomorrow morning.

Just added several items:

Sprouted root cuttings of Carolina Allspice

Giant Goldenrod, Solidago gigantea

Rough-stemmed Goldenrod, Solidago rugosa

Rosepink, Sabatia angularis, pretty pink biennial that likes moist areas,

Robin - I'd be interested in a little start please

That "Snake cactus" is wild! Never seen one before..... It really looks like a snake...
