Hi.

The pottery is very nice and worth drooling over. The glaze work is also very nice. However, I stay away from pots that are wider at the center than the top because that narrower top gets in the way when repotting time comes around. For my adeniums, I try to favor something that is rather shaped like a cone, as opposed to a belly. But no doubt about it, those pots are just gorgeous.

As far as pots go, I consider myself lucky that the little fruit & veggie stand / nursery outlet just down my street carries a good selection of terracotta orchid pots with the slits cut out of the sides, for very little money. They're nowhere near as pretty as the pots shown above, but they do a very good job of keeping my babies on the dry side.

So, I'll have to add Isaac Farms to my itinerary next time I go to Homestead, probably in early August.

Take care, all.
Sylvain.
