sallyg said: Good discussion. I have tipping problems with my coffee bush and fan palm, Big as their pots are, wind catches the canopy and.. whoops. Now I have them in a windproof place.
But I have some broken bricks that would work for a medium pot. That's a good idea to keep in mind. The moss pole thing I did would be a candidate, bit I found a spot for summer, and in winter it comes inside and won't have a problem.

I too use rocks or corks or something in cache pots so that I can still get the inner pot out as needed.

Moth orchid and my one Oncidium would be candidates for some weight. Thumbs up They get top heavy when dry, heck, even when watered.

We were on a walk once, on school property, behind a neighborhood, found a pile of small grey river stones someone dumped in the grass. Whistling nodding love the things, would be nice for the orchid pots.

Yes constantly collecting rocks too, not only because they can be projectile when hubby mows but because they are good for weights in the bottom of plastic pots.
