Well,   5-gal is about what I have my red savina in , I'll just have to get
another one to go with it.  Hopefully the cat's won't climb it, one of them
likes to sleep in the red savina pot.

BTW, the red savina's pot is cracking (age, too much sun, something) and won't
be allowed back in the house this fall.  When should I transplant the poor
thing to minimize the damage?  Should I wait til fall?  The pot will last the
summer, I think, but it leaks and I'd just as soon not have a non-housebroken
plant (got enough problems with cats who figure the world is their
litterbox...)
