am I to understand you put a plant that is already potted inside this planter versus potting the plant directly inside? (I am definitely a beginner)tx

Most are outside potted direct with holes drilled in the bottom for drainage... Some are inside both potted direct and with pots inside (no holes)..

this pot is perfect to insert an existing plant already in its own pot. that is what makes this pot a perfect decorative plant pot.

You put a potted plant on the top. The pot sits into the ring at the very top of the stand with the bottom of the pot sitting on the crosswise pieces. The entire thing is made of the same-size, small diameter iron. It will hold a small-medium size pot, but probably will be unstable with something too heavy or too wide. Check the overall width (and height) of your plant and weight of soil in your pot against the distance between the legs and how much they flex. The stand twists or compresses when you push on it with a small effort; but, if you keep the size of your potted plant not too wide or too heavy, it should not tip over when it gets bumped.

You'll need to open it up and adjust the pots. They are little screws on the inside. If you turn each one a little and watch the image you'll notice it changes it. Tweak them until you get what you need.

It would be better to use pots or long planters. I use pots and works very well.

Yes. The pot is smaller. In my case, it is a heavy plastic; soil included as well as the tree. Of course the tree might not look like the picture. Mine doesn't, but it did arrive healthy and in good condition.

I started mine in a pot. Mainly because we are in an apartment. These seeds have a great germination rate and they sprout quick. I don't think they'll have an issue stating in the ground. :-)

The potting mix is formulated to absorb and release water as your container plant needs it. The soil will provide moisture to the plant, even when it is not watered as regularly as it might be.

You will probably want a clear plastic pot. It is easier to see the health of the roots and repot at a later date. Also, I would hazard a guess that the plastic pot has better drainage than the ceramic one.

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

no you can grow small plants in this throughout their life cycle. as long as they are small plants. but if you do change them into a bigger set up do it before the roots come out of the bottom of the individual 3inch net pots.

We bought ours a month ago and installed a plant in a pot inside of it. The overgrowth tends to mask some of the planter. At a distance it is very rich looking. And even close up it is very nice. It should last a long time and withstand the weather. It has a raised screen drip pain inside however water did collect inside even though we checked with a soil moisture tester. It is like a resin feel. It is not cheap plastic looking.

Personally I have mine in a large pot, about an inch deep, I planted the whole package in the large pot, I kept them outside all summer, then when it turned cold, I moved them inside, they set in from of my sliding glass door on the floor, I water them once a week, just checking the soil, I don't keep them too wet, mine are beautiful, and they continue to grow. I hope this was some help?

Yes, you will need to transplant it to a larger pot (I used a 5 gallon bucket with lots of holes drilled in it). But wait a few weeks before you do; the shipping process is stressful on the plant and so is re-potting, so give it some time to recover. Also, DON'T OVER WATER! I made this mistake, thinking I was pampering it; I nearly killed it. Never soak the soil fully just get it all evenly damp, let the soil dry out almost completely before you water again.

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!

I planted mine in a pot. One lived for a week. The other lived for a month.

I did it the other way around. Seeds then transplant which it what it seems to be designed to do. It is compact and provides plenty of light, but the size may limit what you want to use it for. I don't know what your started plants are but look at the dimensions. Even my cherry tomatoes outgrew it but it does everything it is designed to do well. Very well. It is plant and forget. It will tell you what it needs - water,fertilizer,etc.
