Can you plant spring flowers in the hydroform tomato trellis?

you can plant everything you wish, the trellis can be on or off and it has 3 levels to support from short to medium tall plants. Perfect for vines also

Kathy, I have not planted any flowers in my Hydrofarm GCTR. I have only planted vegetables, but everything I have plantedin them has done extremely well. I'm sure flowers would do great. Good luck! Sincerely Ron Dempsey

Yes you can plant anything in the planter. Just plant near the back so they will run up the trellis.

KathyI don't see why not. I grew tomatos in it last year and currently growing basil and peppers.

Yes, the trellis netting can be used for this. There are many creative ways to use it. We have customers who use it in the gardens, on their porches and even to train potted plants to grow vertically indoors.

From what I know you would use a metal halide for flowering and a high pressure sodium for flowering for optimum results but I just use an HPS for both stages and it does just fine.

I do not believe it will be for tomatoes, but if you have it over dirt, it may be. over concrete, I would say no. I have mine double-stacked and that is plenty of room. I live in a very hot climate, so the plants need the extra depth to keep the roots cool.

I have 3 flower towers, they look very nice when flowers are in full bloom, use soil from any garden centre, easy to look after them, water often every day they are like a picture rather expensive what they are.

I just started mine in the Living Tower and they are growing already like crazy. I hope they produce fruit as it can be tricky to get some plants to bear fruit hydroponically.

You could. But it's overkill for that purpose. The "RV" type hoses are meant to be used when supplying potable water. Normal garden hoses can leave a bad rubber taste in water and over time, break down and leave contaminants behind. So if just for watering the flowers then just get a cheap hose for that purpose.

I have grape tomato plants this time but have used beef steak and several others in the past. I put 2 4 inch plants in the topsy turvey this time. I water them every day for the first week and then every other day or so after that. Mine is hanging under my deck a little bit. It gets the afternoon sun and they really don't get much when it rains. I try and watch and every so often I remove the top and check soil and add more if it needs it. I just love doing it this way.

Yes. Strip the flowers off the stem parts that will be under water if you like for a sleek look. But you can even just submerge the bottom blooms in water and let the top 6" show above the vase. If the vase is clear glass and very wide, this is a great option. These blooms lasted for about 8 weeks!

Yes you can , when you couple them make sure you have a rubber washer. I have also purchased a filter so I can do my hydroponics.

Actually, it's very easy. Since I chose several packages of bulbs, I decided to plant them in a oblong flower pot, like some people put on window sills. I had more than enough room in a pot this size. I used regular, packaged plant soil, but put styrofoam small pieces in the bottom, for drainage. In the winter, the shamrocks prefer less light and less water. So at this time, I water once every other week and in a lesser lighted area, inside. During the spring, summer and fall months, I have the box in full sunlight and water once a week, well. Good luck and have fun with these shamrocks. Actually, it's very easy.

Yes they do. You can use a succulent plant spray every month with watering. 17-8-22 is what I use. Good Luck, If you get into this I have a lot of babies to share.

You would use a store bought potting mix and plant in that..I use mine for hydroponic tomatoes ..indoors.

This trellis is designed for flower and vine use. Vegetables may be too much weight.

No. You would have to put in a pot or line it with something. I have a pot in mine with flowers

Yes you can .I have instructions for a pepper plant I bought that says the following: For faster nutrient uptake, dilute Espoma organic garden tone plant food with water, then water your plants with that mixture.

I have two of these planters that have been outside (northern NJ, zone 6a) for most of the last two years without any problems. I plant them with bulbs, leave them outside until January, and then bring them into the basement until March to get the daffodils and tulips started early.
