I am new at AV, but thought I'd post how my AV's are potted and hope they will be ok.

I used 3oz plastic bathroom cups from WM as they are stronger than Solo 3oz cups.

I can so I have many jars, so I use a wide mouth pint canning jar.

I used the wide mouth lid to make a plastic one out of a discarded gallon water jug. I just make a circle out of a flat piece of the jug that will fit inside the screw ring.

I place the plastic lid on the pint jar, screw it down and use my small drill press to make a 2" hole in the middle of the plastic lid. I do not use the metal lid at all except for measurement.

I use a soldering iron to make 4 very small holes around the bottom of the 3oz cup (about the size of the lead in a pencil) and then I make a larger hole in the center of the cup to accommodate a 5" piece of synthetic clothesline also from WM.

I lightly heat both ends of the piece of the clothesline and after it's cooled I insert about a quarter inch into the center hole in the cup.

Underneath the 3oz cup I used my hot glue gun and glue the clothesline to the cup so it can't fall out or go further inside the cup.

Not necessary to presoak the line as it will wick up into the soil in about 24 hours or so.

Plant the AV in the 3oz cup using dampened soil with plenty of Perlite and add an inch or two of water in the jar.

So far it works for me, is not a lot of trouble to make (for me as I'm retired and enjoy doing it) AND, I never have to worry about the pot tipping over due to being top heavy with a growing AV.

As I said, I am new and I have no idea what I'm doing, so this is only an experiment, not a suggestion.
