I have 2-sweet kumquat . Says to transfer to 10 gal pots. Will this work having to move plants inside in winter?

Bigger pot the better. You can also fool the trees to flower and fruit in fall winter time if you bring it inside. Fruits in 2 seasons. Experiment. Thanks

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 have one in a pot in my porch along with some caladiums and it did just fine during the winter. It came back beautifully during mid spring. I put another in the ground last summer and the temps this winter did drop below freezing. So I'm not sure how the one in the ground will do. I'll update on that one later this spring.

No. Since the plant is very watery it will freeze and die. If temps drop below 40F you must find a way to keep them warm by means of a green house or shelter.

Yes....just beware of early frost and mulch as much as you can. Start as many parent plants inside as you can and in fall cover them with new mulch. Should come back following years if you work with them.

Depends on your zone. Check the plants zone and your zone in udsa website. But I would assume that you wouldn't have any issue in any climate if you left it in a pot and only placed it outside during the sumner. Remember no direct sun light or at the least very little.

If water freezes in your area, the planter belongs inside during the cold months. I have seen it used in a solarium to start plants prior to growing season in colder climates.

Potentially, yes. Depends on lots of variables. This vessel will take a large bottle. The water from the bottle seeps into the soil and waters the plant that way. Not very sightly,though. One of mine came broken, but I glued it back together. They are made of the orange ceramic like the old pots.

Sorry, but I live in an area where it gets really cold. If I were you I would contact the business your plant came from. Good Luck

Yes! We live in upstate NY. I bring my plants in during the cold winter months. I place them under simple round grow lights. They did well this last winter. They need a about 6 weeks of cool fall evenings (around 40 degrees F) without freezing temps. in order to flower.

Ulla, I have grown these in pots so I can bring them inside in the winter. I wouldn't keep them out when the temperatures are consistently below 45.

I personally would not recommend it unless there was a tarp underneath. My mom puts them on her deck. I put the smaller ones up (20 gallon) on my deck. Both of us move them around on the deck (so if you had a tarp underneath would be easier to move it). Also, sometimes the sun requirements will change for the various plants you plate, ability to move the bed might be nice bonus :) Additionally, we both break down the bed/pot in the fall, so it doesn't sit there all winter. Hope this helps.

Yes depending upon what kind of plant. Works great even fown to 25 degrees for Broccoli, root plants for sure. But tomatoes, squash etc it is not as effective. So it depends upon the heartiness of the plant with regards to freezing temps.

No, you do not. The plant comes in a small pot and the plant will thrive in a small pot.

Hi. I'm in Ma. It will but while small I would keep it in a pot and bring it inside for the winter. Once larger you can leave it outside but you'd have to wrap it to protect it. They don't grow very fast.
