Very Charming.

I quit buying pots about two years ago (at least decorative pots). I still buy plastic pots from Walmart or Home Depot for potting up. My glazed pots aren't displayed any longer - sitting in some cubby hole or in the basement. I have many 18 inch resin pots bought over the years from Sam's Club and are great for displays but too big to bring indoors. I now use those for annuals and some perennials. I have a few trees in bigger pots and had three 22 inch pots with bamboo in them. One died and the other two died back but still have some sprouts. As time goes by I see that trees should be put in the ground for best results and large pots are good for some perennials so they don't have to compete with tree roots for water.
