Also not a bad idea if you can put a "lid" on your 50-liter buckets right after you make the watering solution -- piece of cardboard, wooden board, or something similar. That'll keep algae from being encouraged by ambient light.[/quote]

Those are neat pots! I've attended said event and I saw lots of the showcased plants used fancy pots like those. I'm not really into pots (unless I change my mind in the future) so I don't really have a lot of info regarding them. But I do know one thing: some of them are 3D-printed, and since you get to know A Great Bond, several collectors who participated there have experience with them.

If I'm not mistaken, A Great Bond often adheres to themes that matches with the grotesque, 'wild' looks of cacti and other succulents, so most pots I saw there (unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the pots... :cry: ) were quite grotesque and wild-looking - or even monstrous, like the ones here. You know, "monstrous form"?
Tropical region, summer all year long
12 hours of sunlight (shaded by 1 p.m.)
Rains often from September to February
24°C at night, 32°-34°C at evening
Mix: scoria, pumice, zeolite, bamboo humus, and kanuma
Fertilizing may vary

Yes, I recently ordered this "monstrous form" of Gymnocalycium:
