Question
Hey guys. I'm going to try to grow a fly trap in the Phoenix area. My wonderment is should I go with a large terra cotta pot or use a 6" plastic and sit the pot in a larger glazed pot to shield from the sun?

Thanks

Answer
Hi Jason,

Go with the second option.  Using a terracotta pot does help cool, but I found when you place "a pot within a pot" it really helps to keep the inner one from overheating.  Also, we have a chapter on our volume #1 DVD on growing in desert climates, and how to overcome some of the unique challenges.

Good Growing!
