I got 6" pots they should be fine for about a year maybe two. just reg houseplant soil but i also use plant food (miracle grow all purpose) this is a personal choice you may or may not use plant food that's your choice.they grow better with it.

They come with potting instructions. I planted the stock in Miracle Gro cactus, palm and citrus soil in a 6" pot. Watered very well. Did not water again until the soil dried out. I plan to repot them to a larger pot later on. I have read they will maintain to the size of pot they are planted in. All four of mine are doing very well.

I see that everybody recommended using a drill to put a few holes in the bottom. I used an ice pick for the smaller onebut I think a drill would be better because these pretty little pots are tough! If you plan to leave the tray in the bottom of the pot, I would put about 4 small holes, about 2mm in diameter. Then if you put the pot on a raised trivet or use some pot feet, you shouldn't have a problem with roots staying wet too long. Almost forgot! Turn the pot upside down and drill through the bottom (obviously :->) but then check the inside and make sure the hole is clean - no residue clingingto the hole.

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

Honestly my plant has grown so much I plan on replanting in a bigger pot also. If you feel that the plant has out grown the pot it is in now I would replant it.

I've had my plant for over a year now and it's gotten pretty big. I believe it came in a 3" pot and I recently transplanted it into a 6" pot; it's got lots of new growth and is doing great. Hope that helps!

I bought two packages and planted them in the long rectangular pot. I put as much soil as I would want, sprinkled the seeds evenly, and then sprinkled some additional soil just to cover the seeds. It turned out beautifully. You can use regular soil as well in a regular round pot I'm sure.

The pot was about 2-3 inches high and the Plant itself 4-6. Mine also died but I believe that I have a brown thumb.

It comes with a plastic pot - same one as in the picture. Based on my experience with this plant it is best to buy a clay pot, not a glazed one (you can put a clay pot inside a glazed one for decoration purposes). Buy a small pot first and let it outgrow it before switching to a bigger one. Never overwater the plant - best way is to put water on the saucer and let the plant "drink" as much as it needs to, once or twice a week usually is enough. If there is any leftover water on the saucer just discard it. Hope that helps.

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.

Starter size plant in a 4 inch plastic pot. Mine is healthy and growing well

I separated all and put in small pots. If half make it I will be happy. They ship a lot in one pot so it looks like a great plant. I have lost 5 plants out of all that I got. Good luck.

It may need to be repotted, since soil gradually loses nutrients the longer a plant is there. I repot most of my plants every few years as well as use fertilizers such as this one. Repotting is important not just to replace depleted soil, but also to break up the root ball to encourage new healthy growth. After a few years in the same pot plants begin to "choke" as they crowd themselves. But yes, this fertilizer will also help.

Potted mine too in about 3ft dia pot and it was outside over last summer and took well. I live on coast in VA. But then we had a bad rain storm and I didn't get it drained well enough and think root rot set in. It's been in house all winter and I mist it regularly but not sure it's surviving. If it's still seems viable when whether warms I think I should dig up and put rocks in bottom for drainage (there were holes in pot but I'd set it in a pan in house just after bad rain and didn't realize pan was full as I kept watering....stupid!) anyway, my thumb is green with 'easy' house plants and this poor guy (we named him Larry) has kept me in turmoil. I read it's fine to pot but not sure where I went wrong exactly. Hope this helps and I'd love any advice from anyone else!

I do not have that plant anymore as f you move it so it gets different light (more or less as it dapts to one light level, hen must continue with it that way). it loses all its leaves. I reemember that the pot was fairly large - maybe 7" x 5" x 3" and heavy.

Definitely put it in another pot. You want to have about 5 extras inches of dirt around the roots so they have room to grow. Be cautious that you may be getting fruit flies. Mine produced a ton of lemons in the first year but I hated the fruit flies. They breed in the soil and are difficult to get rid of. When you see the first one, start taking action

I replanted mine as soon as I got it because the pot it comes in is small. Jist use a little bigger of a pot and make sure your soil is the right type because most nutrient rich soils will burn the roots resulting in a dead plant
