Potteringaround Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Can anybody advise me of the best pots to use for cobras? I am getting my first one delivered on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Plastic, with holes in the bottom. 13, 15 or 18cm are the usual sizes, dependant on the size of your plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Or a gravel tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potteringaround Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have read a lot of people on here suggesting a shallower, wider pot to allow the plant to spread out. Thoughts guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Exactly, like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imonyse Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Exactly, like this FredG, I've read your posts on ICPS forum, and it's a undrained tray, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 looks good as long as the local cat doesn't find it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) FredG, I've read your posts on ICPS forum, and it's a undrained tray, isn't it? Yes, and flooded looks good as long as the local cat doesn't find it Cat's are no problem, it's the Blackbirds that would strip out every strand of Sphagnum.

linuxman Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Here's how they were keeping Darlingtonia at P&J Plants last year. As you can see, very wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Cat's are no problem, it's the Blackbirds that would strip out every strand of Sphagnum. What does Blackbird taste like Fred? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 What does Blackbird taste like Fred? Chicken but they're better in a pie. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
