I went shopping for pots and little of what I saw was to my taste. Anything remotely acceptable was very expensive. I could do my own decoration but I worry about what media to use given that water will be transpiring in and out of the pot. I could do my own pots with composition leaf ("gold" leaf) but I worry that even when it's sealed with gilding sealant, the water coming at it from the back will tarnish it (not a problem with real gold but I can't afford real gold).
