TY so much, Bev! Eventually, I'd love to get rid of all of the fugly plastic pots...
And LOL! You're right, poor conservatory. It's just been quietly rusting in various storage locations over the years. I've tried using it a few times, occasionally, but since it doesn't drain, plantings never last long in it, either rotting or baking too dry. Maybe I could do something similar with the bottom part, if I can fill the tiny planting area with quikrete or something else that will prevent the planting area from being a cesspool, maybe try to put a hole in the bottom. Will post pics if I do!
I thought it was cool to find a plant named 'Santa' right before the holidays. It's one of those cactuscollection.com plants that they sometimes have mixed trays of, though rare to find any specimen that looks so great. Every bit as festive as holiday cacti, IMVHO.
