Do I have to repot the plant when I get it?

The 4-5 yr old tree does not come with a pot, so yes. Do your research for your climate zone! Good luck! We love ours.

yes I went and bought a big pot, the proper soil and some citrus fertilizer! I have 6 huge lemons just about ready to pick on my tree - can't wait to try them!

Not at all. Mine is growing healthy and still looks gorgeous. Its very important to keep it watered. Show it some attention and it'll stay healthy and be just like the picture. :)

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.

The Topsy Turvey holds the plant. It's a great way to grow. When is the first frost for you? Also, I hear you can reuse these although we haven't tried it. Will the plant last until the frost? If it will then the TT will.

No. I would recommend reading up on care of the plant. I had the pitcher plant. My recommendation is to treat it like a venus plant and place in terranium like container so it can retain the moisture/

It arrived in a water bag with tissue like product around the roots. You just rinse off the roots with cool water and put her in your vase. I love it and the plant is thriving!!!!

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.

I don't really know as I'm going to try and put mine in the planters and bring them in when fall comes. I don't want to lose them after getting them started.

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.

Oh yeah they do. You should repot immediately after purchase to avoid shocking them later. Their roots grow deeper than they do wide so I recommend something maybe 4" deep. Use 1 part spaghnum peat moss (like mosser lee) 1 part perilite and 1 part silica sand. Absolutely no miracle grow or fertilized products and no decorative moss!!! Rinse soil mix well BEFORE repotting. You can skip sand but at the risk of mold. Plant sundew with roots routed straight down as deep as they go and keep base of plant " higher than rest of soil. Indirect but bright sunlight and keep evenly wet with distilled water.

yes. you can put the plant and the soil directly into this pot. that is exactly what I did. this is actually a self-watering pot so in order to take advantage of this feature, you would need to plant directly into the pot.

Absolutely. The plant comes with complete care instructions. I planted it in a 24" pot with plain potting soil; no extra fertilizer was added. Within 3 months I have blooms and fruit starting to grow. It did arrive damaged and I had to cut the top 3 branches back, but the bottom branches are doing well. What should have been a 4' plant is now a 3' plant. But, again, thriving indoors.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend getting this plant. It was dead when it arrived.

Unfortunately, the plant we got from 9 Green box didn't produce any flowers and either dead or dying so we can't answer your question. Furthermore, we're still waiting for result of the requested for refund of the purchased of the plant. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Yes. The pot it comes in is small. You would need to put it in a bigger pot or in the ground right away. I planted mine, it's doing fine.
