How do you use this pot inside a pot?

19 years ago

Ok, ignorance illumination time. I bought a pretty little pot that has a "liner". The "liner" appears to be porous. Can you fill the outer pot with water to let the water seep through to the inner pot? Or else, please explain how to use it.

    I have never heard of them. Do you think you could post a picture of it? In focus?
    And not one of those fakes like the hummers.

    DANG!!! Did somebody holler, "DOG PILE J.D.!!!!!"?

    Now, you bunch of "smart alecks", what is this and how do I use it? The water will go through the inner part when watering from the top.

    Methinks that's an african violet pot, JD. Yes, I think the water will go through. Need plants that like to be moist. It's a purty pot.

  • 19 years ago

    Gee! That's neat, but I've no idea how it's suppose to work. Sorry.
    Jim
    PS Good photos JD!

  • 19 years ago

    What a cool pot! As the inner pot is not glazed, I think it would wick water from the glazed pot.
    Jade plant is a desert type plant and may not need that much moisture.
    Sorry JD, I just couldn't pass that one up.

  • 19 years ago

    Alright, alright - as long as you all got to have a good time.

    Now I must go and save that jade from certain drowning. ; - )

    Thanks natvtxn (I think).

    Ladies.....see how quickly they turn upon one another? There is NO "sisterhood" among men. By the way....this little bird flew onto my hand while I was sitting in my living room.....

    Feel to give me a hard time anytime you feel, I have thick skin ; )

  • 19 years ago

    I'll admit it has been your day. but look at the bright side, this day is nearly over and tomorrow will be someone else's time.
    Jim

  • 19 years ago

    Any more questions, JD? Or have you had enough abuse for one day?

  • 19 years ago

    I have a question.

    If you didn't know what to do with that pot, why did you aquire it?

    Janie, who is just curious.

  • 19 years ago

    WHAT'S WITH ALL THE FAKE ANIMALS!!!
    Except for that huge,hairy rat of course!
    I'd use that pot for a Bromeliad. Can't drown em.PJ

  • 19 years ago

    Poor JD.....you get picked on almost as much as PJ.
    It is a lovely african violet pot. They're made that way, because african violets are not supposed to be touched or get water on the leaves or flowers.

  • 19 years ago

    Ohhh Myy JD feel free to slap my hand for the hard time!! Im sorryyyy....
    Nice pot though!
    Dena

  • 19 years ago

    JD,

    It *IS* a very purdy pot.

    Your hands are just way too clean in that picture!
    What kind of gardener are you?

  • 19 years ago

    Awww, JD now I feel bad. We were just funnin' ya. You know what they say....If we didn't like ya, we wouldn't bother with it.

    I agree with the answers given above that it's a good pot for an african violet and that it will be too much moisture for your jade.....

    XXOO,
    Kristi

  • 19 years ago

    Jim, is it safe to come out yet???

  • 19 years ago

    Yeah, come on down!
    Jim

  • 19 years ago

    "They" stay up real late sometimes.

  • 19 years ago

    Yeah, but "They" say that you're just one of the "girls", so have no fear! Ha!
    Jim

  • 19 years ago

    "They" is awake, lol
    I'm not going to give you grief, looks like you've had enough, lol
    It is a cool pot tho, get Carrie to give you a bromelaid for it.

  • 19 years ago

    I have tons of them, JD.......

  • 19 years ago

    JD, that pot would look good with a bromeliad in it, and I bet it would do good too.
    Jim

  • 19 years ago

    ditto the bromeliad.
    I always kill them....I love em...but they don't love me!

  • 19 years ago

    Watch out, Carrie. I may be on another mission!! Uh, can I interest you in some more EMPTY containers???
    (everybody---- she's a sucker for them)

  • 19 years ago

    Hey, ya gotta have something to fill up that one tiny corner in the barn that isn't already filled with junk. May as well be something I can actually use ----

  • 19 years ago

    Yeah, when she comes here or I go there,the pots will be full, lol

    Carrie, lol... like they are going to stay in the barn empty, lol

  • 19 years ago

    Jolana, your ferns are sitting in a tub over there awaiting your arrival ;). See, I resisted the temptation to slip them in my truck when I left, aren't you proud???

    Kristi

  • 19 years ago

    How did you do that???LOL
    I am proud, pat your back, lol

    Please tell me it's just one tub and it's not like horse trough size, lol

  • 19 years ago

    "it's not like horse trough size"

    Noooo, it's not HORSE trough sized. But it might be miniature donkey trough sized ;).

  • 19 years ago

    Hehehehe, Carrie, I'm saying this in front of you, lol

    She asked me one time if I wanted a *few* plants, I said yes, lol
    She sent them with her nephew that lives not too far from me.
    He called and told me he was back. I went to get them and they filled up my truck, lol I almost went in my car, they would never have fit
    I told her nephew, she was only supposed to send a few, he laughed and said, I had to tell her, that's enough, lol
    We love you Carrie.

  • 19 years ago

    "We love you Carrie."

    Yup, guilty as charged :).

    Kristi

  • 19 years ago

    Thanks, guys! But it makes me happy to give you plants, and I know they will have a good home. Jolana has given me quite a few as I recall, and some of them are blooming now. Got my window boxes filled, Kristi, and they look so pretty - I put sweet alyssum by the diascia - very impressive, if I do say so myself. I was so full of ideas this morning before the rains started, so guess I will just have to write them down.

  • 19 years ago

    I need this pot. Picked up two variegated african violets at Wally world this week. Hey, they jumped in the cart, it wasn't my fault!
    Tlaly Ho!

  • 19 years ago
