Yea.... maybe I have to look in a freshwater bog for driftwood. And I can always attach it to the outside of the pot to mitigate the concerns, just seems like a pretty inelegant approach. Not 100% sure the origin of my plants' ancestors but the guess of the original owner is Hose Mtns. The new...

Picking up on an old thread here after searching for the topic. I have a couple veitchii cuttings that are going to need a repot soon. They came from a large plant and are turning into pretty big plants themselves. I want to give them something appropriate to climb that will also end up...
