Thanks for all of the suggestions. On another site it was suggested that cloth would hold up better than paper and old Hawaiian shirts could be cut up and made into bands and glued to the pots and then coated with clear coat. But I would prefer tapa cloth designs. I have also had the idea of getting a plastic shower curtain in a tapa cloth design and cutting it into bands and gluing them to the pots. All i need to do is find a tapa cloth design shower curtian LOL. So far I have not done anything except buy some new hibiscus plants and move them into larger plastic pots and move my bird of paradise into a larger pot. If the expence was not an issue, I would buy baskets or bamboo planters for all of the plants and clear coat them several times, but this has been a terrible year financialy, so the plants may have to stay in black plastic containers this year.
