Around here the advantitious tree roots grow right into the pots and rob the plants of any nutrition. It is almost like they can smell where the good soil is. LOL
I have tried surrounding the pots with landscape fabic before sinking them but it does not help for more than a month or two at best. I can raise the pots off the ground and that prevents the invading roots but it also creates a watering nightmare not to mention what happens when we have a big blow.

Bouvardia ternifolia (is there a common name for that one?)

A piece of Don Miller dropped into the Picasso's Paintbrush pot and look what happened.
