Ken,
I read how difficult it is to grow orchids from seeds. Would be interesting to talk to someone who has done it successfully. Doesn't seem like it would be worth the expense though.
I think I'm going to give the pot a try! I know that it's a risk and I would probably have enough trouble trying to keep it alive in a traditional pot but what the heck. It will be a fun experiment. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
I like to see what kind of containers I can get away with growing things in. Right now I have a cactus growing in a little clear capsule in my car and it's starting to bloom! I have several cacti growing in an Easter egg, and my Fiance had a fit when I drilled holes in his vintage soup bowl for my succulents
Gigi, you said you have Phals die from repotting-do you have any advice for repotting mine?
