Can I grow this outside or do I have to use some kind of planter or pot?

This is just the packet of seeds but it will grow right out of the pouch per the instructions. It states it only requires water no mention of sunshine at all

You would use a store bought potting mix and plant in that..I use mine for hydroponic tomatoes ..indoors.

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

Much below 0 won't do , must be in the ground (not potted) and it would benefit by planting facing south for warmer temps. Mulch the roots well for winter. It's worth a gamble.

it is a perennial, in Illinois you would need to grow it in a pot and move it indoors when temperatures dip below 50 degrees

Whne I read about it, I think it can be either. Mine's on the outside deck right now (and growing really well) but in my area, I will be bringing it inside for the winter months. Don't know how that will go as I've never had a gardenia before.

You don't need to do anything but place it on the rail and add your planting stuff. I've had mine sitting on my deck rail for over a year now.We've had some bad weather in Boston during the past year and the planter is just fine. I just planted a new geranium in it last week!

I planted them in indoor containers. They're pretty fragile so far. They are not "bushy" as the picture shows. Mine are single stalks with a triangular leaf at the top. I thought they would grow like the ones in the picture but so far that's not the case. I guess if I bunched them all together they would look like the picture. I'm pretty sure snow would kill them. I didn't realize they could be an outdoor plant until my sister pointed it out to me from a description she read. I suppose you could try. Good luck!!

dip root into bag and then plant. Also spread some around on top of soil.. GREAT STUFF !!!

I spread my seeds outside in a flower bed with average/slightly improved soil but nothing special, gave them water, took maybe 8-11 days and they sprouted like crazy. They can take the cold but I plan to keep a patch going year round. Where my bed sits, they get about 4+ hrs of sun in the morning. If you don't have a garden or a bed, you could use a planter. I have used that method too and it worked fine.

When it comes in you will need to put it together. Easy enough by just sliding pieces into place. Then you can add your soil and seeds as you wish. This is a very simple way to start gardening. Good Luck!

It seems it's at least 2 years, so patience is needed! Ours is outside in a pot right now and growing pretty nicely! Have to take it inside for winter, though.

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.:)

This is probable more than you want to know, but here goes. Any higher and it is not going to be very workable as a garden. I would suggest netting But if you want it higher you could lay a base of cinder blocks under the entire thing. In addition, I attended a workshop on Square foot planting. It was very informative and very applicable to this garden. You can get a book on it at Amazon. One of the things the speaker mentioned that with sq. foot planting you do not need as much dirt as this takes, depth wise. I was thinking of putting cinder blocks on the inside so it will take less soil, except in a section for carrots and potatoes. They require deeper planting.

Whether or not you can plant it in the ground depends on where you live. If you happen to live somewhere that is fairly warm year round, the non-mountainous regions of California, Arizona, and the flat flood plain that is Florida, then yes, put it in the ground. Otherwise, like me, who lives in the mid-Atlantic region, I have it potted, it lives outside in the summer, but by the first frost I bring it in and keep it near a sunny window.I sincerely hope that this answer helps you because in answering your question I have broken my own oath that I would stop providing free expertise for the greedy overlords of Amazon.

It might be a hard plant to keep inside because it grows like a vine it tendrils around a trellis so if you just keeping it in a pot inside while it is starting I would use a pot that is about as big as a bucket but the sooner you put it in the ground the bigger it will get. It grows really fast after transplanting

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.
