Assuming you have already grown the herbs to a decent size in the small provided pots, I recommend the following: 1. Use a knife along the inner edge of the pot to loosen the soil. 2. Gently pull from the upper edge of the soil, and lightly on the herb itself to pull the plant with roots and soil out of the small pot. 3. From here, place the plant in a larger pot and fill with more potting soil around the roots. 4. Water with 2xs water since you have added it to a larger planting of soil.

Honestly my plant has grown so much I plan on replanting in a bigger pot also. If you feel that the plant has out grown the pot it is in now I would replant it.

It's going to grow pretty large, I change pots as it grows, It's in a pot about 1/2 the size of a wash tub, but I started with a pot about 9" in diameter when I transplanted the first time. The 4" pot is 4" in diameter at the top and also pretty close to 4" in height. Hope you enjoy your papaya, can't wait for mine to start producing. The one pictured is probably a 9" pot.

I've had mine approx. 2 months. Planted in small pots. 6" d x 6"h. I will transplant to bigger pots later. I have three that are leafing out very well already, at this point I think the fourth still will. Planted them in Miracle Gro cactus, palm and citrus soil. We are still having signs of winter where I live so they have not been outside.

it came in one of those very flexible plastic that you use before transplanting. You will have to change to another pot.

This plant will grow to be about 40 feet. You will have to dwarf it so that it grows small. I lived in a tropical country. It was outside with lots of sun. We usually water it once a week on summers and leave it alone during the rainy season. It was a very sturdy plant. I am not sure about transplanting. I had only had two experiences with this plant. One was way back in 1993 and now 2014. On both occasions, it was bought and was planted on only one location. Never had to transplant it.

Get the bigger one. If you are cooking a amaller amount, cook it in the smaller pot, and fill the bigger one with the proper amount of boiling water. If you are cooking a larger amount, but still not enough to fill the large pot, put the food in the large pot, fill the small pot with boiling water, put lids on and stand back. This way the unit is always filled to it's most efficient level, and the heat is conserved for the longest time possible. The only thing wasted is the residual heat in the hot water when it's time to eat. No, wait. Use that still hot water to wash the dishes in. Get the bigger one.

No transfer it on the ground they grow 10 foot height 3-4 feet wide . It's better on the ground the roots expand and they grow better . You can trim them

No, you do not. The plant comes in a small pot and the plant will thrive in a small pot.

I would suggest a thicker pot as well. I wrote them a product review few days ago. Spoke with a rep about how he could improve his product and such. Awesome customer service!

I did it the other way around. Seeds then transplant which it what it seems to be designed to do. It is compact and provides plenty of light, but the size may limit what you want to use it for. I don't know what your started plants are but look at the dimensions. Even my cherry tomatoes outgrew it but it does everything it is designed to do well. Very well. It is plant and forget. It will tell you what it needs - water,fertilizer,etc.

Yes, please put it in a bigger pot right away, not because it needs it but because adding fresh soil is always better to the plant. Also this needs a bit of acid soil as well and what I did is to combine half regular potted soil and half coffee grounds. I hope this info will be helpful to you.

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.

You will probably want a clear plastic pot. It is easier to see the health of the roots and repot at a later date. Also, I would hazard a guess that the plastic pot has better drainage than the ceramic one.

There are 2 ways to drain and refill. The best way, I think, is to have a spare 5 gal. bucket such as you can buy at Home Depot,etc. Lift your entire growing plant in the net bucket and place net pot and plant into spare bucket. You can now move your DWC pot and dump old nutrient solution and replace with fresh nutrients. Then replace plant and net pot back into the DWC bucket. It's also possible to pull down the blue indicator tube and drain off old nutrient solution this way, but this can be messy, so I much prefer the 1st method I mentioned. Even a 4 ft. plant in the net pot,filled with hydoton, is not as heavy as you might think.I hope this helps you. There are 2 ways to drain and refill.
