My 'Log in a Pot' project.

I found my branch and cut it off. I took Kevin's advice and used rocks instead of concrete to hold the branch in place. Here are some pics...it is a plastic terra cotta pot filled with river rock I bought at a local hardware retailer. Now I am just waiting on Jerry's hybrid plants to mount something on it. I will keep pics coming as soon as I mount something.

The wood comes from a Longan fruit tree (see pic below).It is very heavy for its size meaning it's dense... which is a good thing. Also, the bark is very rough and has many knucks and crannies which is a good form of anchoring for the future orchids...the curves are good too. I planned on using avocado, but I found this harder, denser wood and thought that it would do better against moisture etc.

What do you guys think of the project so far?


By the way, what do you guys think I should do with that little stubby log?

EDIT] I have removed the last Attachment as the pic clearly stated Copyright.
