Do I need to use another pot inside this one or can I put the soil inside this pot and grow the house plant directly in it

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.

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.

no pot necessary. Dirt can go right in. it has interior drainage too. -really good quality. I bought 10 (small to larger). enjoy!!

You can plant directly in this pot. It has a water reservoir at the bottom built in inside to prevent overwatering

They can grow the pot they are plantedin,but for optimum results it is best to put them in a larger pot.I recommend a growing medium of peat with a small amount of river sand. I usually go with a 3 to 1 ratio with the higher number being the peat.

these pot look nice but it doesn't take as much dirt as a reg. pot. the deepest part are on the sides where it deeper. I notice that the flowers only grew on the deeper side not in the middle of the pot.Make sure to make the holes on the bottom for the excess water to get out. I'm happy with them and I bought white which you can paint them in different colors next if you like.

You can use it however you want. I have the 75 peat pot green house this year. I've got 2 of them on my shelving unit with a heat mat and grow lights for my tomatoes and peppers. It's working great!

No,I had to drill holes in mine to give it drainage. Don't know if you are an avid gardener (I am), but you might want to think about the extreme difficulty of planting in something without holes. I have never successfully kept anything alive that way. You're better off with a pot that has holes and a dish underneath it.

The planter has a botton but it is open on the sides. You can place a pot in it. I am very pleased with this planter.

Yes you can,it should come with planting instructions.If not start with a small pot(1 gallon) and light soil,move it to the next size up when you see roots coming to the top.Don't overwater.Have plenty of drainage and fertilize at least every 3 months.Mine came out of the box with lemons already on it!

I got 6" pots they should be fine for about a year maybe two. just reg houseplant soil but i also use plant food (miracle grow all purpose) this is a personal choice you may or may not use plant food that's your choice.they grow better with it.

It would be better to use pots or long planters. I use pots and works very well.

Yes. The pot is smaller. In my case, it is a heavy plastic; soil included as well as the tree. Of course the tree might not look like the picture. Mine doesn't, but it did arrive healthy and in good condition.

I just used a regular potting soil. I have had it for 7 months and it is doing great. I give it a little water twice a week.

I do in my deep water raft system, but ultimately you leave the seedling in this no matter where you plant it. But your plants will need more to grow in that just the cubes. The amount of soil you use will depend on the plant your raising. These are used primarily in hydroponics and aquaponics since transplanting the seedlings is super easy and no soil is left behind in the growing beds, like a traditional soil starter.

I see that everybody recommended using a drill to put a few holes in the bottom. I used an ice pick for the smaller onebut I think a drill would be better because these pretty little pots are tough! If you plan to leave the tray in the bottom of the pot, I would put about 4 small holes, about 2mm in diameter. Then if you put the pot on a raised trivet or use some pot feet, you shouldn't have a problem with roots staying wet too long. Almost forgot! Turn the pot upside down and drill through the bottom (obviously :->) but then check the inside and make sure the hole is clean - no residue clingingto the hole.

Definitely put it in another pot. You want to have about 5 extras inches of dirt around the roots so they have room to grow. Be cautious that you may be getting fruit flies. Mine produced a ton of lemons in the first year but I hated the fruit flies. They breed in the soil and are difficult to get rid of. When you see the first one, start taking action

I didn't repot because instructions stated it should be planted in a smaller pot than tree. I didn't want to risk a bigger pot. Mine is still healthy and sprouting new leaves all the time.

Hello! You can surely grow this in a regular pot. Just dump the soil mix inside the bag in your pot (or your own dirt too I suppose would be fine as well.) The seeds are in a little packet and I found them to be useful enough to fill said ugly sack twice. Hope your kitty (or dog.. I suppose dogs can nibble this as well; don't see why not) enjoys!
