Not pretty, but seems solid enough to last till next June.

Wires around the rim for stability, crack was coated with gorilla glue and let it set, then put a bead of rtv silicone over that.

May drill a couple holes on either side of the crack at the rim and add wire through the holes to further help hold it together.

It is good stuff. I tried to get it in the cracks as much as possible. Still, it would have held better if a piece broke off and I could actually get glue in between.

I'll just have to be carful.

I wasn't going to repot next june, but it looks like now I will. Ha

oh well, at least the tree want damaged :)

That's the great part, no plant damage!!! Maybe you could put it inside of a box or something???

We had same winds, I found bunch of my plants toppled - 4 big brugmansias, even branch broke off; few potted tomato plants, and potted bay. Couple of others squished by fallen plants...

Rina, I'm sorry to hear you had some damage too.

The pot isn't pretty, but I think it'll hold.

The repair looks great. It should hold for quite some time. Seems like you just did that repot, and now you have to do it again!

So sorry that happened! Your repairs look much nicer than what I'd end up with.

Thanks!

yeah, just did the repot in late May and was planning to kee it in that pot for a couple years.

This was my worst nightmare all summer! However, the nightmare included the pot shattered with soil spilled all over the ground and the tree living in a trash bag for a few hours till I could get a new pot. At least it wasn't that bad! Haha.

I'm more worried about the bent Schefflera. It looked so great before.

If that's actinophylla, cultivating a zig-zag could be helpful in keeping its' upward mobility under control.

Tiffany, care to elaborate? I'm not sure I'm understanding.

Think I solved any future problems for the rest of the season. Wired up to this arch thats cemented in the ground.

My comment was in regard to your mention about Schefflera leaning. If it's actinophylla that is leaning, letting the trunk zig-zag instead of going straight up could prevent it from hitting the ceiling so quickly, if the idea appeals. Sorry if I didn't say it well earlier.

I'd need to find a way to keep the pot tilted to keep it growing like that. Good idea though.

My other though was just chopping it when it gets too tall and make it branch out.
