Bring out the body bags

As per a suggestion I've put the b. coccinea (in it's originial pot) in a large pot weighted by stone. I had to un-pot a large bromeliad, a very large, sharply serated bromeliad that grows to 5' across in the ground. It was quite a specimen, but too big for the terrace. The sawtooth edges of the leaves could probably have been used to cut wood. It turned into quite a job. I had to chop up the bromoliad to make it manageable. There was quite a lot of soil in the pot leftover, had to bag all of this with plugs of soil pulled out to plant the wart ferns. I had visited a local nursery and had bought 3 small wart ferns, which I planted each in one of the bougies. They should grow in nice like.
