I just learned the hashtag, but also look at and another one I sometimes see is
So after that hashtag assortment I feel duty bound to post a picture so no one feels cheated.

5/n (should be the last!)

They should be protected during the winter, especially when growing zone-marginal plants. Setting them in a larger container packed with dry leaves will insulate the roots, closer to what they would live through naturally.

I don't do this. The strongest, and most regionally appropriate, survive me. Hence the cranberry takeover.

4/n

They *should* get rainwater. Water from a rain barrel is ideal. If that's not available, "atmospheric" water, e.g.: from a dehumidifer or AC, is suitable. I use regular water from the garden hose, but let it sit overnight to outgas.

Since there's no groundwater to replenish them, they need to be watered once a day during the summer. (A task I don't always do.)

I keep mine in saucers to hold the overflow, and let some of it absorb back up through the hole. You can see both of them in situ in this photo of the entrance to my backyard, taken 10 days ago.

The container must have a hole in the bottom for drainage, but it doesn't have to drain quickly. A single hole in the bottom of a medium plastic tub should do.

In this photo, the soil knife with the orange handle has a 6" blade. So these planters are about 12" across.

Nothing but sphagnum moss (*not* peat moss). You can find it in garden centers as an orchid growing medium. (At the nursery where I made the containers, they had barrels of it.)
