I can only guess that the tall, narrower pots warm up more than the wider pots and that the roots don't like that.
That's an interesting point, particularly as I am in Florida and keeping the soil cooler is often a concern. Something to consider. I've also been mulling over how unattractive stacked buckets might be, so maybe I can devise something to wrap them that would both insulate a bit and pretty them up a bit. Thanks for your thoughts and experience!
