[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by fishwagon</i> <br /><br />Capt: I'm not certain this post fits the title, "imagination". I plan to have small live plants on my indoor layout. I'm not sure about what receptacles to use. <br /> <br />Has anyone tried to use live plants on an indoor layout? <br /> fishwagon <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I think cermanic pots might be your best bet since they come in various sizes. you could cut out the circles where they would slide into the layout and then use a folliage/texture consealment method to hide any part of the pot when it is installed. This will allow you to "pull" the plants out at various times to be pruned, fertilized or allowed to get direct outdoor sunlight to promote growth. <br /> <br />Insects may be a problem, if you use miniroses there are spider mites that will infest the plant and, though not that dangerous to humans, the plants will really suffer. <br /> <br />Drainage is an issue, you may have to invent or innovate some method to collect execess water that will seep out out of the bottom of the pot. You will also have to be innovative to set up some method to secure the pots under your layout. <br /> <br />This is what I would do...
