I have several herb plants, can these pots be used for my herb plants or should I use bigger pots?

I wouldn't unless you plan to keep them in the ground or to keep them separated as part of a bigger system like hydroponics. The many holes will keep the soil more on the dry side compared to similar size pots. As a general rule, a larger pot will be moist longer periods and keep the plant stress to a minimum for your herbs. I would recommend the stacking pots like the three from Nancy for herbs (on Amazon) or a rectangular window box.

These are great for most herb plants. Keep an eye on the roots on the bottom to make sure they're not too cramped.

It all depends, if you have small baby plants yes but they are quite small. So probably think about something bigger. Hope it helped.

I think they would work for fine for herb plants-especially if you are starting them from seed. Of course as they grow and become root-bound, you would need to go to a larger size pot. You would also need to have some kind of tray under them because of the holes. Hope this answers your question.

I would think you would need to re-pot them. They come in small plastic containers like you might see at a garden store when buying herbs or small plants. It would be okay to give but the pots need dressed up a bit for a bridal shower.

I can not think of a reason why not. However, if you have more than one plant, why would you want to leave it in one pot? I have about 12 plants and I monitor each separately, wiping the probe after each to ensure an accurate result. I wish I had this device years ago. It is absolutely a plant saver.

i think 2" pots will be perfect. you may need to add a bit more soil in some of them.

Yes. You could do that easily, in my opinion. However, just know that the size of the actual terra cotta holder (again...in my opinion), is perhaps too larger for a smaller pot. Personally, I use these in my large pots and aqua globes in my small pots.

If plants are NOT too heavy, yes. It would be easier to answer if you stated size of plant/pot size???

Yes, but I would work my way up to larger pots. Start with a smaller pot and work your way up in size each year. This way you can water it prperly.

i have several plants with pots between 6 to 15 inches. In smaller ones, I put one in small pots, and two stakes in larger pots. I had bought it very early before the vacation, so i can test how it will work - i have over 15 large plants, some of them 25 yrs old.. (inheritance from a friend) wanted to make sure they are not taken care while i was away.... I grouped the plants, used a water container shared by 3 or 4 pots. The water container needs to positioned correctly, otherwise they just pull too much water too fast. read the instructions come with, keep experimenting.. happy flowering..

Depending on how big your pots are. Can hold 13. 6" pots. 10 gallon pots if they are the tall slim ones. But if your growing plants that need lots of space or will end up needing transplanting into 12" and or 3 gallon pots at the end of growth then you can only. Fit 3 plants. Comfortably. So I would use this for veg only as u can put alot in there for that then move plants outside or bigger tent for flower.

I have 1 Large Pot weighing about 8 to 10 lbs on top shelf and 1 medium plant on next shelf followed by a small plant, don't think you would be able to get 3 large, not because of weight, but purely because of size and closeness of the individual tables.

Ah, now that depends on the kind of plant and how big it will get. If you do a web search for the product and go to the GrowBox home page, it tells you how many of various kinds of plants you can fit in one box. Smaller herbs and whatnot can usually number over a dozen, but some larger plants, like eggplants and tomatoes, are going to be down to 2-4.

Hello fmcool, no need for another pot. I am currently growing a house plant directly inside this pot. It is a great pot for a medium sized plant.

Yes It Will. I Planted Five 6 Inch Pots In My Garden. The Herbs Are Growing Fast. Keep Watering The Herbs.

It depends on the plant. It comes with a chart. For example you can do two tomato plants or 10 bean plants.You could plant more smaller plants such as herbs, etc.

I might put another container inside these if you are primarily going for the look, but they really are pretty small. A round 2" pot would be okay, but really for your herbs to get big enough to cut, you'd definitely need a larger container. I have not tested these to see if they are water tight.

Yes i use them for strawberries and herbs...small pots so in my area...arid..requires watering every day or two.
