Yep I hear you Alpineart, I'm in the same boat, they get heavier everyday :shake:
If you do cut it in half the left side would lean to a more tropical landscape with the fig. I wouldn't touch the planting to the right to my eye its perfect. :imo: :tu:
Came across this site and thought this was heading in the right direction. Although the planting on it would be extremely heavy.

Hi KIRKY , mate eventually it will have to be pulled apart as the roots on all 3 plants have cracked the mortar holding the rocks together . There's a lot of power in root's when they penetrate substrates they do untold damage even on this scale , might have to put some reo' in the bases next time .

Cheers . Alpine

This is the black mountain after a work over

, brighter in colour however it will fade to a more realistic natural look . This pot was purchased from a club member last month however it is a bit small

,I might have to make another poly marble tray to suit .
