I made an earthbox style container with a 20 inch pot for my order of VFT's from FTS. I got a mirror, UK sawtooth II, bristletooth, Shogun star, and a Fuzzytooth. All were bought as bareroot starter plants. This was my second time planting VFT's and im new to all this, so please excuse me if my planting skills are horrible It was very fun looking at each and every plant, and I cant wait until spring to see how nice they look! Anyways, sorry for blurry pictures in advance, I just have my phone for a camera=/ I basically did all this today, I was just so excited about getting my plants haha They should all get great coloration with the AZ sun, i'll just be carefull with them during the summer
Attachments:
First I made the Styrofoam base with a small sized pot with many holes, and stuffed it with sponges as a wick system, and a pvc pipe to water.

Then I put a layer of LFS moss to prevent the media from clogging the drainage holes
