Another US Show

Post by Jim_Mercer »

Another show on facebook - bit of a generalisation but all the sales plants appear to be in square plastic pots with name labels and all the plants on the show tables are in ceramic pots with no labels :smile:

Looking through the pictures I think I can see a plant in a plastic pot!

Hi Attun, it looks a handmade, too small pot. There are some great plants in these pictures but the handmade pots are what really catch my eye.

I too love the handmade pots. If only a maker or seller of these pots had a stall at the National or other shows I am sure there would be a lot of interest.
Maybe a Cactus nursery could have a selection as I'm sure they would be a good money spinner. If any cactus nursery reads this then there maybe an opening here. After all lovely pots appear at American shows............and boy they look great................Roger :ban:

Handmade ceramic pots would cost a fortune, probably worth more than the plant in it. I can't imagine many keen growers would want to spend that much on pots. A shame, as they do enhance the plant.
