Default Re: backyard pics 2019

fabric pots make it much more difficult to transplant/re pot and move
the bigger ones pictured are 30 gal
i did buy some 65 gal ones on sale but have not used them because they will not fit through a standard doorway
next spring i have some plans for loaning big plants with them as the containers
then i would dig them out in the fall and keep them in a smaller container over winter
another thread made me realize they mostly need lots of soil in the summer and less soil makes it less likely to overwater in the winter

more to the question i do not know the size of youre plant but i found even tiny pups dried out fairly quickly in a 1 gal fabric pot
small plant might need 4 - 15 gal (my smallest fabric pot is 13.5 gal)
once it is over 3 foot pstem it could likely use a larger container
approximately.....
so if you get youre plant and it is only a few inches tall go for the 1 gallon
baby it but let it dry out a bit between waterings too
if it is a couple feet tall total height you may want the 4 - 15 range
same watering directions
everyone does their thing a little way different though
there is another thread with giant plants in tiny(relatively) containers in australia
