I found the down side to my solution today...I am 'trying' to be better about fertilizing
and I've always alternated between Bayer 3 in 1 and regular liquid orchid fertilizer ...when I do the Bayer..I submerge the whole pot and let it soak in as well as spray the leaves and pbulbs..kind of hard to undo all that wire and put it back...so I'm only going to wire the pots on the patio edge...and use big pots that I can set the blooming pots into for display. Meanwhile..( back at the bench) Elaine, if your bamboo is around 7' tall...I may take you up on that offer!
