Mine was about 6 to 8 inches in height and I water it 1x a week with a spray bottle and I replanted mine in a ceramic pot and does nicely. D.B.

I brought mine in and it grew to 8 ft. tall. Because of the broad leaves it drinks a lot of water and you have to monitor it constantly if it is in a pot and it will dry out faster if it is outdoors in a pot. It was a fairly happy plant indoors this winter even with a northern exposure. I took some cuttings and rooted them last month. Washington DC area.

it is smallish (Chis size), but big enough for a 4-inch plant. probably even a six inch plant.it will not hold a pot. Youwould have to plant the plants inside the watering can.

It will sit flat and is quite stable when filled with a lot of water. Watering sections will then be about 3 inches off the ground/floor. Sounds like a good idea as long as they don't chew. Good luck!

I've had my plant for over a year now and it's gotten pretty big. I believe it came in a 3" pot and I recently transplanted it into a 6" pot; it's got lots of new growth and is doing great. Hope that helps!

I just stuck mine in an old vase when I got it. It's 15- 16 in. I have had it a while now and it is beautiful grown a little. My problem is my cat likes to chew on it. I would recommend it. I never untied mine either. I want to put it in a planter with pebbles. Definitely recommend. Keep atleast two inches of water on roots.

This plant will grow to be about 40 feet. You will have to dwarf it so that it grows small. I lived in a tropical country. It was outside with lots of sun. We usually water it once a week on summers and leave it alone during the rainy season. It was a very sturdy plant. I am not sure about transplanting. I had only had two experiences with this plant. One was way back in 1993 and now 2014. On both occasions, it was bought and was planted on only one location. Never had to transplant it.

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.

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.

I put it on a saucer like wooden dish & slightly loosened up its leaves. I follow the spritzing instructions for watering & feed in the kitchen sink. Turn it upside down for awhile & then put it back on its dish. It is thriving & garners me many compliments.

The plant is about 6" tall. I really do not know the age, but I would say its a youngling.

9 months from everything I have read they send you a 20 inch live plant in a super small pot. 3ft but I've read some can reach 8-9 ft I've read.its a good deal!

Janet: I purchased this tree earlier in the year and planted it in large pot in the yard. It's doing well but I know it will take a couple of years to bear fruit. You should feel confident in placing it in a pot. Laura

the plant was maybe a foot or so tall when it arrived this past spring ... it is at least 6 feet tall now and quite bushy!

If you bring it inside as a potted plant and make sure it gets a sunny window(one that doesn't have protective film on it). I would also mist the leaves when watering,as indoor heating can dehydrate the leaves.

Mine was about 4 inch high but it grew to the side till I got it to grow up. Was about 5 inch wide about if not more. My only real problem was keeping it alive. :( I either over watered or underwatered...

It was about 3 inches tall from base of roots, 4-5 inches wide from end to end of leaves, and it was in good condition. It was a little droopy but once I watered it, it perked right up. After a week I planted it in bonsai pot with clay and it has grown a good inch already and is looking really healthy and happy.
