I bought a bunch of tissue culture plants from florida hill this spring. I put them in a one gallon pots and let them go. now its mid summer and im wondering when to upsize the pot. I placed one of them in a 2 1/2 gal to see if it made a difference, but it didn't make any difference. any ideas ? I also have some 5 gallons if that will help

well if you put them in bigger containers you will not have to worry about transplanting them again anytime real soon. If you are growing them till you can sell them well it really depends on what you got on hand the 5 gallon would be best and over all less work for you take one out of the gallon if the roots are all over the side wall of the container then it's time to put in bigger pot, if not, then you are good for awhile longer just keep checking that way. If a lot of roots are covering the inside wall of the container bump up to bigger pot. And like I said if you are just trying to get buy till they sell then let them get a well established root ball on them in the 2&half containers.
if these are the ones yes I would put in 2 and half gallon.
