Here in Europe including myself too we sell plants in 4inch pots or 9-10cm pots square or round because Holland made this standard thing.

My experience is that pot size relates to the amount of soil in the pot. So I always make a little mount in the pot and after around 6 months it sinks down to below the rim, which makes watering easy and leaves enough soil in the pot

Lots of the nurseries here in Barbados have rootbound plants so when you root prune & up pot appropriately the just explode with growth both inside & outside of the pot.

Where do you buy the pots? I didn't find a link for them in the description.

[geriannroth]

100-300 containerized plants gets sold at other nurseries though like Excalibur nursery. Every plant's has it's own Niche market.

Fun to watch as always. I really appreicated the video on up potting. Have a guamachil and the uppot was fun with all the thorns. tried propagating guavas from my trees cuttings but maybe I need chilli's salvia to help it grow. Guavas seem tough to propagate. Best wishes.

I got ripped off last year. I bought a palm that says it's a 7 gallon. Then I bought another one this year. The same 7 gallon palm. It was obvious the new one in a 7 gallon was the exact size. The fronds are bigger and the trunk is 3in taller

When are plants ready to be planted in ground? Do I wait to plant in ground once the plant graduates to container 3, or 5? Or do I go off of years?

Did you grow a strawberry tree aka Jamaican cherry from seeds? It is much faster to propagate by air layering and it blooms right away

I don't know about other users but I watch your videos until the end and I noticed you don't use the end screen feature. You should try it bc it is quite easy. Simple Subscribe button for the whole video is easy too, you do it only once.

Great video! I currently have an orange and lemon tree in a 3 gal pot and need to up pot it because it looks root bound. Does citrus tree have a tap root system or fibrous root system? Would you recommend up potting it into a 15 gal that is tall and deep or short and wide? And do you know how many years the tree will stay healthy in the 15 gal before I need to up pot it again to bigger size pot (25gal)?

Can’t understand Gallon/inch system, America please convert to litres and kilograms

[EffectivePickyEatersSolutions]

In Florida used 1 gal is for 25 cents and 3 gal which is 2 gal in fact is for 50 cents and they want minimum $20 usually. A lot of sellers BTW.

I looked oscomote from your description and bc it has high content of nitrogen and I am wondering if you apply it only specific time of year or anytime of year? Is Amazon where you buy all supplies? I was thinking where to buy to save some money in bulk, I am only starting my garden and still have fertilizer left
