Thank you desenhasra26, I'm sure they will :) If they can survive Bunnings Hardware, they can probably survive just about anything lol

Thanks so much :D It's a glass bowl (though not ideal as it may get a bit hot in the sun). There are no drainage holes, but a layer of charcoal, pebbles and coarse sand at the bottom. I water it via the little pond in the middle which is lined with plastic with a few toothpick holes punched in it. I have just made 2 larger ones in fibreglass pots that look like rusty metal, I'll post some pics once they get more established (I stray cat flipped one over last night and I had to replant the whole thing this morning). Just remember that wet peat is pretty dam heavy, so the larger you go the heavier they get lol. If you are keen to have a go, I put a step by step tutorial on my website you can check out;
