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.

The raised side should be up when put in the pot. The outside edge should point down.

You need to grow a vine on it for real and proper privacy. Am growing a climatis, very easy and pretty. Openings are small but not too small. Better than nothing for sure. My advice though is vine growing ( even out of a pot is OK). Mine is on the ground. Good luck..

The pot is flimsy. You would need to replace it. Wintergreen is designed to be a ground cover plant and would do best if you planted directly in the ground.

Hello, Yes I went to their website and found "some" instructions: http://japanesemaplesandevergreens.com/planting-pruning-and-care/ Just get it in the ground ASAP. I purchased two of these vines and they are doing fine!

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

Actually, I still have it in a really big pot. I've been meaning to plant it near a fence, but haven't done it. I think it's suffering in the pot, but now it must have a lot of roots, so I'm going to have to dig a really big hole. In the pot it has mostly gotten wide, not tall. I'm a little disappointed that the stalks are still very skinny, and only one is actually black at the moment. I guess I'd better plant it!

Depending where you live, I would put it down in the fall, so by spring the chemical is already traveling throughout the plant. I am in IL.

I didn't repot it yet. I will probably order a warm pot from the same place and repot it after it blooms.

Depends in where you live, mid April is probably the best time. But I kept mine in a 10" pot on the patio for six months before planting it in the ground. Located in So. Calif.

the seeds are very small, and you can't start them in the ground until after the last frost has passed, so depending on where you are , it's probably better to start them in a pot

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.

I have one in a pot in my porch along with some caladiums and it did just fine during the winter. It came back beautifully during mid spring. I put another in the ground last summer and the temps this winter did drop below freezing. So I'm not sure how the one in the ground will do. I'll update on that one later this spring.

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

I used it for potatoes and I bought potting soil to fill it. I filled it a little bit over the potatoes and watered it to keep it moist if it didn't rain. When I got shoots, i put more dirt in to cover it up. I treat it like any other pot I use to put plants in. Place it in sun according to the plant's needs. water will sift through so it won't be floded with water. I turn it around now and then so all sides get sunlight. I am sure it didn't come with directions just like any other plant pot doesn't come with directions. Put a plant in with some dirt, add sunshine and water and watch it grow.

Our directions say to use 10% of the Blend by volume in the dirt. So you may want to lay a half-inch circle around the plant and gently work it into the soil about 3-4" deep.
