What size pots would you recommend purchasing to begin growing these herbs?

I'd say start with 4" diameter...you can always transfer them if they grow too large.

I used an AeroGrow set, (which has very small amt of growing medium) but I imagine you could use small pots, or even seed growing kits/egg cartons, just to begin growing the seeds. When approx 2-3 inches transplant to larger pots and/or outside if the weather is agreeable.

Very small starters. But these seeds were awful. Not a one ever sprouted. I followed directions and nothing.

I'd say a 4 inch pot to start.......you can always transplant if it gets to big. About half of my seed actually grew herbs. Will look elsewhere next year.

I used 2 large 8" x 16" and didn't plant all the seed types in them or all of the seeds of the same type. Follow directions on the pack as to how close to plant. They didn't grow well for me at all. Many didn't grow at all.

The chia herb garden pots are little bitty fellers. I just measured one of my pots and it's 2 3/4 inches high, and 1 3/4 inches in diameter at the bottom and 2 3/4 inches in diameter at the top. The growing sponge itself comes about 3/4 of the way up inside the pot.

I had good success with these last summer. I didn't get to plant every variety of the herbs but the basil and the dill grew well. I wish you good luck in your herb gardening. P.S. I am in Alaska where the daylight hours were long in the summer. Pam in Bethel, AK

These pots are supposed to be just fine for bonsai. You might try a smaller pot though.

They're ideal for 5"-8" standard clay flower pots. The photo with the hand shows a 6" pot.

I did two in each of mine. This is my first year using these pots and so far they are great! Growing way way better than in my raised beds!

these would work perfectly for 2" pots i used 3" pots and the pots are a little to big. 2" pots would be the way to go and these things work awesome

Quality OK. What are you planting? Too small for many/most vegetables in my experience.

I think they would work for fine for herb plants-especially if you are starting them from seed. Of course as they grow and become root-bound, you would need to go to a larger size pot. You would also need to have some kind of tray under them because of the holes. Hope this answers your question.

I had mine in the original 2" pot for 2 months before I transplanted them into 4" pots. Some had lots of healthy roots and some had very little roots.

2"-4" generally. You might get a couple that are bigger though. It all depends on the type of plant.

Assuming you have already grown the herbs to a decent size in the small provided pots, I recommend the following: 1. Use a knife along the inner edge of the pot to loosen the soil. 2. Gently pull from the upper edge of the soil, and lightly on the herb itself to pull the plant with roots and soil out of the small pot. 3. From here, place the plant in a larger pot and fill with more potting soil around the roots. 4. Water with 2xs water since you have added it to a larger planting of soil.

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.

More depth is always better, up till about a foot (these plants are not that large, and I think this is about where max root depth would be.) Larger pots also contain more water, so you have to ask yourself how often does it rain or do I want to water them? I used 5 inches for horizontal spacing. Got a decent number of berries.

This is good to know. I might try this sometime, too! So far I'm just growing the herbs; when they're full-grown and I've harvested from them a few times, I'm going to try planting them in pots so I can get started on my Salad pods.

It truly depends on how much you expect to plant... I have one tall pot about the size of a bathroom trashcan that has two types of basil,chives, oregano, and single leaf parsley. All three of the plants you wish to plant are small and enjoy hanging over the side of a pot so you could split it into 3 sections and still have space to plant more in the center. They take up about a fists worth of space if you need that as a true judge.

Yes, that is exactly what we used them for last summer. We have two 30 inch and one 36 inch and grew basil, thyme, mint, parsley ... and enjoyed them all summer.
