    Hi guys, I am about to pot up into containers, two 4 year old dissectums (Ellen & Stella Rossa) I have just purchased, they are currently in 2 litre pots. Given the huge assortment of containers available, are there any I should steer clear of ? i.e. Does it matter if the pot is dark coloured & will heat up the soil in the sun (bear in mind I live in Scotland, sun is very much a rarity !) I suspect a pot that is wider than it is tall would be good.
    Any comments/suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Naepace.
