i have soil grown tomato plants (around 5-6 inches tall). can i just take them out of their containers, rinse out the soil and plant them to these?

As long as the tomatoes are disease, fungus and bug free. Whenever you transplant from soil to hydroponics however there is always a pretty big risk of contamination due to contaminants (microbes, bacteria, disease etc) that is in the soil. It is always better to start in a hydroponics system and transplant to soil, rather than the other way around. With that being said, we have several customers who have done so successfully without any problems.

You could probably use them but I didn't have any good luck with mine in miracle garden soil. Good luck. In the past I have always had very good luck with Miracle Grow products.

Do not plant tomatoes in this. It would be better for herbs. We planted Cilantro. I am afraid anything that is going to stand much over 6 inches would have a difficult time. A tomato would be a disaster.

They do not need soil. They get their water and nutrients directly through their leaves. These plants are perfect for small glass terrariums 3 to 5 inches. Care instructions come with every order.

I used them on my tomato's and they look great. I combined them with miracle grow potting soil.

I folded the smart box down around the top about halfway and then, as the plant grew, added additional dirt and pulled the pot back up as more room was needed. I am sure it depends on what size plant you are starting with but I have always heard that each time you transplant a tomato plant, you should plant it deeper. That makes it have more and stronger support as the plant grows.

We do grow tomatoes in ours, but we also loosen up the soil on which the garden box sits to make sure the roots have room.

Depends on the temperature of the soil and how low the temperature goes. Why don't you go to google and search tomato cultivation.

My wife and I grew cucumber plants and tomato plants from seed to about 6"-8" before it was nice enough for them to go outside. Must have had around a dozen plants under it. That being said I'm sure flowers will be happy under it. I have also used them for larger plants ;)

Air plants do not get planted in soil. Just put them on or sticking out of something like sea shells etc. They can be seperate or arranged together. You must mist them w/water, spray them with air plant fertilizer, and soak them occassionally in purified water, never tap. You need to research a plant before purchasing it. Good Luck.

You could...but I don't know how long they would hold up. Maybe succulents that didnt' require much water. I would look elsewhere for planters though.

Absolutely. I started over 1,500 tomato pepper and eggplant seeds in my basement using a light and grow set ups until they were ready for sale and planting outdoors. you need to watch the seedlings carefully because the seedlings will get leggy if plants are exposed to too much light. They can be started in 72 cube strays (3 trays to a typical light set up) and need to be properly watered and fed with a diluted liquid seed starter (b-1) for food ( use an eyedrop) . They need to be rotated and be subject to the lightness and darkness of a typical day as if they were outside. As they grow they can be transplanted into a bigger cardboard like containers that you can find at Big Lots or Ocean State Job Lots. Eventually all you have to do is put these into the ground when it is thier time for planting. Hope this helps.

You can put the smaller one on top of the larger one if you want to. The largest one you can plant tomatoes in it as well. It is deeper than it looks. When you get it filled with dirt it makes a nice planter. We put weed blocker under our dirt to keep the weeds down. They are neat above ground gardens.

With the 15 gallon size we were going to put 2 tomato plants in just one bag but I if you go to different sites to look up container gardening they say a 3 gallon pot for 1 plant so I recommend the 5 gallon size for 1 tomato plant. We returned ours because we thought they would not hold up over time.

Yes, but the plants will require only a misting. If you over water you could drown your plants and run the risk of growing mold while in the box.

What size pots are you wanting to fill? I used to fill a 5 gallon bucket up to about 6 inches from the top. It is enough to plant one tomato plant or as in my case, one potato plant.

Are the tomato plants in a pot? If so, it probably would. If the plants are in the ground, there is a similar product that has "tubes" that would probably work better.
