cachepot

This functional plastic assembly can go into a decorative “cachepot.”

The very best setup is to have the plant growing in a free-draining pot that is then set in a slightly larger one that doesn’t drain, a cachepot.

Let the pot drain for a few minutes and then return it to the cachepot.

The optimum arrangement is to have the plant in a thin, plastic, well-draining pot that is then placed in an outer, more decorative cachepot that doesn’t drain.

Use a vintage champagne bucket as a cachepot, or wrap a simple pot in burlap and tie on a velvet bow.
