Default Re: new hanging baskets

Hi Shawn the pots look good. I grew some Neps in a similar way many years ago. The mix I used was peat based so a bit differnet from yours. I had gracilis growing outdoors under shadecloth in a temperate zone in inland Australia where we regularly had frosts in the winter. I am sure your plants will thrive in there new pots.

I would expect this to be a good set up for growing highland plants as the air movement throuogh the media that yiou have created would provide a very effective cooling system for the rrots. I think I may try to grow some Darlingtonia in a similar set up and see how it goes.
