Has anyone tried these? Did you use it as a pot or a mount? They sure look interesting.

they sure do look interesting, it would be fun to experiment, but its awful pricey....

I have four tubes - one is a double with two orchids growing out of it. I closed the bottom with crossed wires cut from old spike supports and placed some spag in the bottom to "seal" it up. Very stunning presentation and the plants seem to love it too!! I would highly recommend this for anyone wishing to add some interesting variety to their collection.

I just received an order from them today...I bought some of their Oncidium & Seedling Imperial mix...very nice stuff! I was thinking of ordering one of the double cork tubes 'cause I thought they were pretty cool too! Did you see the ones that you can just put a pot into? Cork Pots

I really like their site!

I believe that the removable pots are a new thing. I've just repotted directly into the cork tubes. I enjoy their products and the service is excellent as well. Recently, I've taken to "designing" my own catt mixtures - pretty cool, lets me get the right mix for my growing and watering conditions.

WOW!!! They look really cool but they're too expensive for me!

That is only a start of the project. Now to buy plants to put on it. I will take a pick when it is finished......if you promise not to laugh at my poor photography skills. It leaves a lot to be desired.

I take lots of pics for my own records but rarely post them.
