Default Re: My one and only Sarracenia

I have a theory that Clay pots are nice for them and even VFTs, because it keeps the medium cool due to evaporation. The problem is that there are a lot of comments about possible salt leaching from clay pots. I myself have not tried using clay pots though, but I have bought a glazed bowl which I think will probably do similar cooling effect at least compared to plastic. Plus as Alienfx mentioned the weight will prevent toppling over. I lost a Nepenthes cutting to the wind during a typhoon because of plastic pot being very light.

TTFN
