Hi
I use little thr away camera's pictures take awahile :))
When I first started growing I bought a lot of two piece pots. I learned some by myself and some by local group they are not really great for growing. Sometimes now i do take the plastic pots and sit them into tw piece pots, tea pots, any cute little conatainers I can find ! I like displaying them around our home ! I enjoy growing in natural light though I do have stands with grow lights. I move my plants around like furniture and like thm every where to enjoy !
I don't have a lot of room in our little tiny home. But I am addicted to putting leaves down. I mostly grow by leaf. Each new baby is exciting for me !!
I mostly give them away, sponcor Bingos, sell a few,ship for postage to make room for my addicton. Health hs slowed me down and I only hav a couple hundred leaves down now. Last year at I always had around five hundred.. I like growing different varieties. I grew around one thousand different varieties for fun in the past year or so !
Talking about Av's is fun ! I love looking at all your pictures.
I do wick most of my leaves and plants. Streps I do not and some of my larger plants I don't wick. Everything is grown in plastcic pots.
I use pan pots for some of my Gessies, Streps, trailers. I like growing miniatures and those are gorwn in 2 " pots and some in thumb print. I like the short style pots Azela pots some call them. I use a lot of the 2 1/2 inch for Semi's and 3 and 4 for standards.
I just like them all ! Allison
PS I have been taking pictures of some flowers/palnts and have two throw aways cameras to get developed
