What size pot should I use for this plant? Also is it ok to use a self-watering planter?

We used a 10in pot. I'm not sure what a self watering pot is but we used one with good drainage and water every couple days. It's been growing fast and strong. Good luck.

I repotted my Pomegrante plant into a quart flower pot using some stones in the bottem of the pot,(you can use foam packaging peanuts)used regular potting soil, with a couple hands full of clay soil from my back yard, mixed in well with the potting soil , do not use potting soil that has fertilizer,that will kill it. after planting in pot,water it well, tap pot on work bench,floor, ground, what ever, than you may have to put in mall amount of soil, because of settlement, i cut small amount of straw around the plant,( which i cut with a sissor) to keep soil from dehydrating, which it will do fast indoors.i use a 100watt grow bulb in my lamp in my den during the cold winter, but it is now in my sun room, with two small Pomegrante, do not water it too often, that will kill it too, wait till the top of the soil dries out , which will cause the roots to grow down, seeking water. hope this helps ,

I use a two gallon plastic watering can (It also says you can use that on the box). For every gallon, I use two tablespoon of the Miracle-Gro. I hope that helps.

I have these in a 12 inch hanging pot in potting soil that is about 8 inches deep. It is in a southwestern exposure window with sun in the afternoon, if we have sun, we are in Chicago and we water it about every other day, just a little bit each time. We keep the soil moist but not real wet. No special water just water from Lake Michigan. This is a fun plant as the leaves open and close each day. Fun!

I didn't repot because instructions stated it should be planted in a smaller pot than tree. I didn't want to risk a bigger pot. Mine is still healthy and sprouting new leaves all the time.

Yeah, I'd say it'd be great with one plant per section. But only if you're very dilligent about watering. They dry out very quickly. Drip irrigation would be helpful.

I just use an ordinary watering can with a fine spout. (Made for indoor plants, this sort of thing http://www.bing.com/shopping/dynamic-design-wc1018fe-watering-can-fern-dydwc1018fe/p/52A25876EC0588715012?q=watering+can+for+indoor+planrs&lpq=watering%20can%20for%20indoor%20planrs&FORM=HURE . How often depends on the time of year, I let the soil dry out a little on top between waterings so it's evenly moist but never soggy. I like to water it with a liquid fertilizer every other month or so and about once a year I will put the plant in the sink or shower pot and all and water it really good- let the fresh water flow through. This will leach out the salt buildup. Dont do this often though, just when you see salty deposits build up around the drain holes is how you know it's time. So , that's the deluxe treatment but spider plants are tough and really forgiving. My plant I bought is still thriving and gorgeous. It's huge and has needed repotted twice since I bought it. Hope this helps.

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.

Hi. I think the rosemary would outgrow the planter in a season and would be better units own pot. The planter seems best suited to tender annuals that you would use as they grow. I purchased as a gift, my daughter was delighted! HTH!

I went and bought some large pots from walmart around 30 inch diam. and deep . I drilled holes in bottom of pot to match bolt pattern of light then secured the light to the pot poured in a 50 pound bag of pea stone the added potting soil and planted flowers in it and it looks great . It took all of about half hour . Erin Hill

I also used Miracle Grow Potting mix and have repotted to larger once. So far it appears to be low maintance just watering a couple times a week.

I replanted in a 10" diameter ceramic planter. Took it to work where there's great indirect light (about 6 hours a day). Water about 1/2 a cup to 1 cup once a week. It's doing great. :)

Hi,I have put both. Either one is appropriate. I wouldn't put the soil directly in the planter itself. Right now I have a round pot in my planter and have not encounter any problems. You will need at least a 10 inch pot. Hope this info was helpful and enjoy your planters because I am certainly enjoying mine.Carolyn B.

As I recall, the pots are small, perhaps no larger then a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch square. Just enough for a two to three inch high plant. I hope this helps.

That size is about right,but very easy to plant as it doesn't require digging a big hole. I planted mine on a hillside and there was no way I could dig holes for the bigger pots. I just planted them closer together and hope some day to have a nice ground cover.The plants I received were very healthy, with good root mass.

You can plant directly in this pot. It has a water reservoir at the bottom built in inside to prevent overwatering

I'd say the quality of mine was really good, maybe 2 bigger plants but not too big . I can fit about eight 6 "pots with small coleus plants because they don't bush too much but not a lot. If you have the space, I'd recommend a bit of a bigger size. After the first few weeks, you'll want a bigger one probably lol!
