Thanks, Dollar Tree (everything's a dollar) had the 2 1/2 gallon PP buckets for a buck and the trays which were intended to be for muddy boots and such when you come in the door. I love to repurpose things. I used a small soldering iron to make 3 holes at the bottom of the bucket so I can bottom water in the trays. The plants were a little smaller when they moved into their temporary quarters on Feb 24. As they grew, I removed the lower leaves (this causes their trunk to thicken) and added more potting soil.
