Default Re: 1st banana in the pot today !

thank you rocco! i was just fixing to say the same thing.terracota pots will absorb any salts that are in your water. the next time you water your plant you will be releasing the salt content into you nana. and the pots look nasty after a while anyway. the terrcota will also absorb water and your nana will not get what it needs. i get my pots at walmart that are the heavy duty plastic( and yes they are made from recycled materials. LOL!!!) and the largest one that i bought was a 15 gallon one for like 7.97 or somewhere around there. that is just my 2 cents worth. im not an expert, someone else might have a different way of doing things
