Do you grow this in a pot? I live in central Florida or can I plant it in the ground when I get it or into a larger pot?

I planted mine in a pot. One lived for a week. The other lived for a month.

I have them in a pot but you can plant them in the ground but you need something they can climb up on to as they are climbers.

plant in the ground and post with wires will be needed to support vines with fruit.

I've transferred these into a 1 gal pot 6 months ago and they've only grown an inch or two. Not sure why. I want then to get bigger before I put them in the ground, but something isn't working. I purchased several other plants which are doing very well. Maybe they are slow growing but they were a bad choice for us.

According to all the plant books I have read the Hardiness Zone for Central Maryland has been listed as: 4 - 9 (-20 degrees F). Yes, you should be able to grow this plant in your area. The plant is prone to root rot if planted in too moist soil. Plant in well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in a sunny area. Plant can withstand some foot traffic, but not much. I wouldn't make a habit of walking on it.

I couldnt get it to work in soil. But if you could get it to actually work, I dont think it would matter if it is soil in pots or soil outdoors

Yes.Mine came in a long plastic tube which would not stand up on its own. All the dirt had come out during shipping,so I transplanted it right away into a 5 gallon pot with moisture control potting mix and a couple handfuls of azomite(minerals) and bio-char. It perked right up. It is growing and I anticipate finding a 15-20 gallon pot to transplant it again.

Yes, you will need to transplant it to a larger pot (I used a 5 gallon bucket with lots of holes drilled in it). But wait a few weeks before you do; the shipping process is stressful on the plant and so is re-potting, so give it some time to recover. Also, DON'T OVER WATER! I made this mistake, thinking I was pampering it; I nearly killed it. Never soak the soil fully just get it all evenly damp, let the soil dry out almost completely before you water again.

Just barely cover the seed with soil. Dome the pot or put it in a plastic bag and put it under a light in a warm place. It only take a few days to germinate. Good luck and happy growing.:)

it can grow in Florida, but I think it is only packaged in the USA, it usually comes from asian countries, the leaves, itself.

Personally I have mine in a large pot, about an inch deep, I planted the whole package in the large pot, I kept them outside all summer, then when it turned cold, I moved them inside, they set in from of my sliding glass door on the floor, I water them once a week, just checking the soil, I don't keep them too wet, mine are beautiful, and they continue to grow. I hope this was some help?

depends where in texas you live, you can plant it in a large pot and move it in, at least for the first year or two

I'm in CA too. I have mine in a pot that I move to a warmer area when it gets below 35 at night. I forgot to move it one night a few weeks ago when it hit 30 degrees and I've been struggling to keep it alive ever since. If it survives, I will put it inside under a grow light next Winter. Not sure what the plan is when/if it gets bigger.

No, you do not. The plant comes in a small pot and the plant will thrive in a small pot.

If your area has well-draining soil, you can consider planting it in the ground,but the plants sold don't seem to have been sun-hardened yet: they haveto be gradually introduced to full sun. As others have said, pots allow youto move the plant out of the way of filthier weather/seasons.

Hi Wendy! You can grow them in pots - I started mine in pots and then planted them in the yard. They're really easy to grow.

I have mine in a large pot and it is doing beautifully! It needs more water in hot times, but thrives. I moved it to Colorado where I keep it in a greenhouse during the winter.

You can grow almost anything in southern Florida! Yes you can. They like acidic soil and under a tree ( evergreen best) would be good. Not too hot

I know what you mean I live in Florida too. Well, I tried it indoor too but did not had much luck, it germinated and grew for a bit but after a few days it started to die. But my house is pretty dark so it really never had a chance. What I did then was - germinated a few days in the house until it start sprouting, then took it outside until noon and then brought it inside. That worked for a bit until I lost interest in it- was to much work. Well I would say, give it a try. So long the sun don't directly shine on it you should be fine, I think. I would try it with a small amount thought, less then a pound, just to see if it works.Good Luck with it, hope I could help a little. I know what you mean I live in Florida too.
