@BrawnyMachofern I don’t know how DIY you are, but I’ve found drilling holes in coffee mugs or cheap (like dollar stores, Walmart), ceramic bowls can pride width without increasing depth too much.
@DesertGreen What an awesome idea! I never even thought of repurposing things like that, thank you 😊
@BrawnyMachofern … it was supposed to say “provides…”. My apologies about the misspelling Lol I bought this cereal size bowl at Walmart for a $1. 35. It’s sturdy, too. I was trying to rehab a cactus pad, so the middle drainage hole was fine; however, if I choose to plant something else, like succulents, I would drill a couple more holes. As you can see, it’s kind of small. It was just the biggest drill bit I had on hand.
@DesertGreen absolutely no worries...I misspell stuff all the time LOL. I actually just purchased these pots from Amazon so I'll be moving some in these plus I have more plants on the way so I'll have even more to play with 😂
@BrawnyMachofern here's what a root bound succulent looks like. This thing is 10/10 ready for an upgrade. Roots were starting to poke out of the bottom of the pot and she was drying out within two days of watering.
@BrawnyMachofern also, here's another look at a succulent that's snug in it's pot and thoroughly watered. It can very easily stay in this pot for the remainder of the year and do just fine.
