One foot or two...putting your best foot forward

[Cadillactaste]

Now, I understand a round three footed pot the foot should go in the center when viewing. But to me it seems to look so unstable that way.

Is it a rule that many break...leaving two feet show?

Potter is Kenneth Chung. Love the detail on this tiny pot.

One foot forward accentuates the shape of the pot. Two legs forwards? You just made your pot a clunky square.

And then it will depend on the image you want to create with the tree. Choice D should be "it depends on the tree"....

Good point...never thought of that. So a more masculine tree...possibly two feet if the pot seems to feminine for it then?

...and then there are pots with 3 legs or 4 legs- there might be 1 in front but you can still see the 2 off to the sides.

I presume it's the size of pot that allows one to see the feet in the back Dave?

This is a chunky little pot without the legs. That maybe why I can't stand the single foot.

Darlene,

you can use 1 or 2 feet but it might also make sense to rest your plant in the pot
and then make a choice.
Just rest.

Good point...the tree may seem lighter and need a lighter less chunky pot. Good thinking my friend.

I'm not sure it makes a difference. My point was that, depending on the number of feet, you might be able to readily see either 1,2, or 3 feet depending on the pot's orientation, and the chosen orientation should be based on the tree potted in it.

Thanks Dave!
