This is my idea for hoya pots. I started thinking about this a few months ago
when it was time to stake (or trellis) some plants. I do not like putting stakes
into pots - I don't think it is good idea for a few reasons and I attach the stakes
to the pots which is annoying.
I found a place to get 'custom pots'. Here is what I am going to try...
the pot will be triangle shaped and clay. It will be made so that an eight inch
EA pot will sit into it and just fit; that leaves gaps at the three corners for bamboo
or material of choice. Just insert canes and fasten at the top, height your choice.
The clay is two-fold purpose: to give a low center of gravity to the plant and to
provide humidity from being wet. No more light-weight pots toppling over in
a breeze.
I want to try three sizes: one that will hold 8", 6", and 4" pots. They could have
feet to keep them off the ground and allow air flow to the bottom.
What do you all think?
