Does anyone have experience with large indoor planters?
I'm talking the size that you see in a mall or an arboretum.
I would like to buy/build indoor planters for some of my elephant ears. They can get up to 8 feet high.
The room is on the ground floor and has porcelain tile floors and window on three sides. I can also add supplemental light.
I was thinking about something like 2.5' x 8 ' x 3' deep.
Honestly, I really need some help re:
material selection - should I use stacked cement bricks with a rubber liner? Or can I purchase a premade container?
dimensions - EE like evenly moist soil, but not wet feet in the winter. How deep should the soil be?
Drainage pan - Should I allow for drainage out of the container? If so, how?
Any ideas would be welcome.
