I like the reused bottles, have you had any issues with fungus? I only ever re-use opaque stuff cause the light makes me nervous(idek if light would help fungus…)

Are these all the same plant? Or siblings.

I love the pots as well.
My friends are always telling me my pots are ugly. I reuse buckets for pool chemicals, solo cups, one gallon sprayer containers, it matters not to me.
One of my best buds was on me hard and said “how much would it really cost to replace everything with terracotta?”
Him and his wife counted the pots on my patio, around the pool and then the whole greenhouse.
Rough estimate going with terracotta pots was $5500. I have 20 cloth pots ranging from 50-85 gallons each. They used a temo price of $37 for each cloth pots replacement. In reality 75 gallon terracotta around here are between $130-200.
Last year, I had looked into replacing my bigger stuff with terracotta and came up with $3600.
I know my overall set-up doesn’t look as clean as folks with killer matching pots but as I tell my wife “I grow plants not pots”
Thankfully, a lady near me now barters with me for pots. I trade plants, soil I make, fruits and veggies, etc
My pots are being replaced with cooler pots, yeah it looks better
That said, I’m still completely fascinated by plants, not pots.
Terracotta keeps people from being distracted by the pots while they need to be listening to my botany lectures.

Cool collection. What’s the one that looks like Pedro in a trench coat?
