Hi Watto
yes. Ive been thinking quite a bit about a pot for this. Im not too sure whitch way to go though. Rectangle or Oval. I guess it will depend on the front i chose. Im also thinking about the angle that it sits at and if I can bring it forward more to be a bit more upright and maybe exposing some of the roots at the back.
First things first though, building more structure in the foliage. Prune, prune, prune.
I think the "Progress 6" pic could be the front if it was brought forward more but im not sure. I really want to show the best possible angle.
Any ideas are welcome.
