Dragon ledges

[Briansant]

I’m thinking about buying some dragon strand ledgers but how would you be able to hang the plants with the pots?

I love my Dragon ledges! They make setting up an enclosure so very much easier. This will show you how to best utilize them. https://dragonstrand.com/getting-the-most-from-your-dragon-strand-dragon-ledges/

You’re basically zip tying the pots to support branches that are zip tied to the ledges. The link @MissSkittles referenced should show you.

Use small pots for your plants

The pots I use are 6 inch in size not too small and not too big.

These are wonderful and I highly recommend. I use half gallon landscaping pots per Bill's recommendation. This way I do the pot in a pot method he speaks about. Your zip tying one pot to the branch in multiple points so that it is secured. I normally do 3 points of attachment to the branches. Then you drop in the same type of pot that has your plant in it. I do use screen in the bottom of my pot that I plant into with 1 inch of the clay drainage balls then dirt... This way I do not have dirt going out the pot I am dropping into.

Yeahhhhh...thats a small pot! Lol. I guess it all perspective.
I thought they would hold bigger pots than they do, though no complaints!! I absolutely love the ledges and the size of pots is plenty big enough for the enclosures.

I just ordered pots the other day, but went with 4" pots. Are these going to be too small? Should I order some 6" pots instead?

its going to make it hard for you to have larger plants. The half gallon landscaping pots are better. they give you depth for roots. This is what I just ordered. I liked the drainage on the bottom. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QTJ1D3K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah the thing about the ones you got besides being smaller... Is that they are a harder plastic. Every time I have tried to put a hole through those they have cracked so you have to drill the holes for them not to. But yeah those will be a bit small for larger plants. Then when your plants grow out of those you will have to replace them.
