What type of pots, with or without saucers. Last year
I planted some in the self-watering type pots with the
constantly watered reservoir. They did very well but I
found that I had to hold down the amount of ACT. There
was some type of "burn" if I used to much. Don't ask
me to define burn and I didn't do any numbers that
would help anyone. But, as a grower for many years I
can say for sure that the color and leaf thickness was
very good. I've also found that deep pots work better.
