wow
I feel like I've had a tropical vacation
The slab has me thinking.. I tend to be stuck in a 'must be seen from all sides' mode with potted plants. Where the tallest plant is in the middle always..
BUT the slab would help stabilize it-- could wire it to the sides of a sturdy plastic pot. . then Philo on the slab.. Possible use smaller plants in front of or on sides of the Philo.. and even sneak something in behind the slab where I'd think there is a small arc of space if that will get light.. (empty space- waste!) Next debate with myself would be how tall to start with that slab.. I think I want to be able to move it all outside during summer, because otherwise I 'lose' them in the house while spending all my time outside.
Maybe use a few PVC, drill them so I could wire on the coir, places to insert hooks to hang other small plants... and wire them onto a pot, have that one one edge and the Philo is climbing that.. maybe on it's own, maybe as the background to a couple other plants. This would be something new for me, altogether
