Can you grow it indoors? How to do care for them?

They can be grown indoors. They're fairly forgiving with maybe 1 to 2 times a week being watered from what I've found with mine. Although I've read they like generally once a week. As long as the soil is just a barely moist to the touch you should be okay. Most places will tell you to fertilize when they start to bloom once very two weeks or so until the fruit is gone. But a little trimming is usually enough to keep them behaved. The one I got a few month ago got a massive trimming. It was only 3 10 inch sprigs with a lot of growth towards one side. But I already have a blossom going full blooom and new growth in a way that balances out the weight. So far, mine's been rather hard to kill. :) They can be grown indoors.

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 ,

Mine has been growing indoors with a grow light for a year or so. Had little pomegranates on it last summer (cute). Still growing now. I just used regular potting soil and fed it occasionally. I am going to cut it back when the weather breaks; getting kinds leggy and large now.

Mine has lived his entire life at our home in the sun room. I repotted him into a larger container using miracle grow moisture soil. I keep him trimmed into a roundish shape. Feed him miracle grow plant food twice a year and use a paint brush to pollinate the flowers in order to get fruit. I water once a week or when it's still dry after I push my finger into the soil to the first knuckle. Mine does not tolerate over watering at all. Good luck!

There are no directions, so I think they can just be planted. I started them indoors because I was in too big of a hurry for winter to end!

Hello, Yes you can grow hardy Chicago fig in a container, they do good in containers. Almost and plant can be grown in containers. What happens is bigger the container the bigger your plant becomes. What you can do if it is grow taller than you want you can cut it to size you want and then just keep it cut to just how tall you want it. If it gets to bushy you can also cut it back to a size you like, but if you like it as a bush it is good to also cut center out to allow air movement through tree, do not have to but it will be good for plant but like I said you do not need to. I hope this helps you and if I can help more feel free to ask me any questions and I will try to help you if I can. I do enjoy growing plants and have all kinds, right now my citrus trees are in bloom and I have had them in pots for years. I put them outside in summer in house in winter and there doing great, must say to pick fresh from trees is the best, always better tasting then ones you buy from store no matter if it is figs, oranges, tangerines, what-ever you have taste for you can pretty much grow as house plant in a pot, just need a sunny window. Oh maybe I should also tell you when moving plant outside in summer to put plant in place that gets and little by little give it more sun, if you put it out in full sun it will probable burn it, you need to adjust it slowly until it can take full sun. Cloudy days it a great way to start and you can set it in open and in a week or two of off and on sun should be able to take full sun. I have been already been putting mine outside in day-time and bring it in at night because days are 50 to 60 degrees and night still freeze so I bring it in. You will do good. :))

You could, although, I would probably hesitate to do so as they appeared to be shocked from the handling when shipped. It took a bit of time before I replanted into a different pot. Another thing, the picture in this caption shows a lush, more adult version of what I received, which appeared to be more a of "new" plant and more on the fragile side. I hope this helped in some way.

Yes, sean is correct, you must either start the plants somewhere (indoors in seed starting trays under fluorescent lights, I'd recommend), or purchase the plants (local garden center or online) and then transplant them into the Topsy Turvy when they are the right size (not to big so they'll fit through the holes, but not so small that they wont be able to withstand the transplant. They must be "hardened off" before they are transplanted also).

I put mine in regular organic soil in a small 4 " pot. Per 5 seeds evenly spaced Ill usually get one that grows. they are pain to grow. I put them about 1/2 cm into the soil. They like humidity but dont over water. once a week is good. if its not doing well put a clear plastic bag over it for a few days ( like proudce bags from the store )

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.

I just received mine about 2 weeks ago and it is growing, it is not dormant. I have it indoors.

Hi, I'd treat them like any other cactus. Indoors, bright direct light. Outdoors, since they're still pretty little, maybe not all day direct light until they're a bit bigger. Good luck.

It would be better inside near a window or in a fully shaded spot outdoors. You will need to watch the water level it will need to be filled every couple days or the plants will dry up and the Aero-Grow will probably manfunction mechanically if it dries out.

I would use it inside. The ambient soil temp needs to be in the 70;s to sprout and grow plants such as herbs. Assuming that your sunroom is heated. If not you might try it with a seedling mat.

Yes, I live in zone 6 and started them inside. 3 weeks later they are 2 feet tall in my garden. Build a support for them, water when they look distressed. Good luck

The plant will probably adapt to being grown indoors, but unless you have supplemental lighting, it is not likely to flower indoors. There are other types of true jasmines that are better suited for growing as indoor plants. Jasmine polyanthum, Jasmine officinale, or one of the Sambacs would be a better choice ~ Emerald Goddess Gardens

Well, They should grow in indoor plants. Do not use mic Racle grow unless they look puny!

I have had mine for about 8 months and planted in a 2'x2' planter box moved inside for winter in Wa state. Lots of new leaves in past few months so hope full a bud or two not far behind. Plant needs to aclimate to your conditions first. When I first got it all the leaves fell off in a month or so and then grew since it was shocked and adjusting. Plant has done great so far so I am in for long haul now. I would guess after a year or more it could bear fruit but looks nice indoor even with no fruit. Resemble s a indoor bamboo type plant.

Yes, we just put it on the counter, where it gets no sunlight. Good luck. These are very easy to grow. Hope you enjoy.

Don-we have not actually used our kit yet, With that said we have done some research and we are confident that we will be able to grow this indoors in an aquarium type setup. This is our plan as well.
