| My meyer came from the nursery in a black plastic pot that I like. When I repot is plastic okay to use. A friend of mine who lives in TX told me to use terra cota because tree roots can breath better. |

| i'd recommend black plastic pots. terra cotta is too much breathability for citrus in cooler climates. its ok for climates that have mild/warm winters. |

| Well, if you use a good porous soilless mix, your roots will breathe anyway. I am finding plastic is much better for my Lemon Meyers thanks to John's suggestion. Mike |

| Great thank you. Plastic is easier to carry too. |

| I find that all my citrus except a Kumquat in clay pots have very shallow root system. Now I am gradually repoting them into black plastic pot. I will see how it goes. |
