Can I plant in a pot? If so, what size is recommended?

That's what we were going to do but ours died in the infancy stage :-(. I would recommend that you go to a nursery and ask which potting soil would be best as they have many varieties.

I planted it in a large pot on my patio and it looks good and is growing, but I plan to plant in the yard at some point.

The plant is pretty small when it arrives. I have mine in a 1 gallon pot right now. I doubt I will need to transfer it to anything larger this year.

Good day, I received mine in a 4" pot and immediately transplanted it in a 6" pot. It has grown quickly and I will soon be moving to an 8" pot. I have had the best luck with all my tropical plants by increasing the pot by two inches until it gets root bound then going larger. Ultimately, if you will be bringing it indoors, I wouldn't go larger than a five gallon pot preferably on wheels. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure of the exact right answer. I think it would not hurt to put in a big pot. Typically people plant them in the ground so a big pot would not hurt. I don't have a spot in my yard ready yet. Keep in mind I live in southeast Texas. They grow well here & rarely the temp is freezing.

I used an AeroGrow set, (which has very small amt of growing medium) but I imagine you could use small pots, or even seed growing kits/egg cartons, just to begin growing the seeds. When approx 2-3 inches transplant to larger pots and/or outside if the weather is agreeable.

Yes, Hardy Hibiscus can be grown in pots, but as they are Hardy, best is to plant them in ground. At the onset of winter, cut them off to the ground. In spring the Hibiscus will grow back and bloom.

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

It should fit a 12 inch diameter pot. You wouldn't want to go bigger as it would probably be too heavy and stress the structure. Too high and it would tumble out and ruin your wonderful plantings.

it depends on how many plants you want to grow but I would think for two people I don't think you need the largest size I think the middle size would be enough

Your plant should be in a 'pot' - the pot sits in the planter. I love this planter!!!!

In terms of putting it in a pot, you would want to measure from the outside of edge of poles. I just measured this way one of mine and it was just under 14" wide. So if you are going to anchor it in a traditional inward slopping pot, I would recommend that the width of the BOTTOM of the pot measure at least 14". Also, you would do well to make sure the height of the pot provides sufficient depth to support the height of the tower. In one instance I placed a tower in a quarter cut wine barrel and discovered the depth of the soil did not provide the best stability, so I had to resort to bracing a couple of the tower legs with stakes. It worked better when I used a half wine barrel. There are always things to consider, and some things are learned only the first trial. The prior comment about the aesthetic of balancing the size of the tower with size of pot is a useful one. I found that a big pot allows you to plant smaller cascading plants such as lobelia around the perimeter while still having room for a climbing plant in the center. I have towers that 5, 7 and 8ft tall scattered around the yard, half in containers and half in ground (with add red support from iron and wood stakes).

I planted mine in a few peat pots, but a good moist soil should do the trick as well. I put 3 seeds per pot, and about 2 sprouted from each one. Also i put the seeds just under the soil, not very deep.

I don't think it's big enough to grow tomatoes--I think a large round pot would work better for tomatoes.

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.

Yes you can plant it in a big pot. However, it will need a trellis to grow against. You an also shape the plant if you want. Plant it in the yard against a trellis arch for example and it will eventually cover the arch. However, these trees may live 150 years. So, plant it somewhere where future generation will appreciate it as well. At some point it will out grow the pot. Keep this in mind. Hope this helps.

The size of the plant depends on its environment. It can grow bigger if tansplanted to larger pots. You can keep it small by trimming the roots back every few years, just be careful not to trim off too much.

Hello fmcool, no need for another pot. I am currently growing a house plant directly inside this pot. It is a great pot for a medium sized plant.
