I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of glue is or can be used to glue wire to inside bottom of a slab or pot? I remember seeing this on a video of someone doing this to help secure a rock to a slab. Thanks, Joe

Here are my tropicals inside for the winter. Oh and a dry looking boxwood brought in because of a freeze we had. Is now outside and am hoping it recovers. My tropicals are a small Fukien Tea, a FicusNitida, and a Narrow leaf Ficus. The Nitida is going to be a root over rock. Cant see the rock.

I aguired this at our club raffle. Just got a nice oval pot to replace the current one. The other trees are boxwood and a yaupon holly.
