| Hi, I need your advice....
I am getting some flowering vines for my patio and I have 2 questions that I just can't figure out just by researching online: 1 - Are there any specific vines that simply will NOT thrive in a pot (even a large one)? 2 - When I get my plants, should I directly plant them in the large pot I want them to grow from, or should they go in a little one first? Thanks so much! |

| Hi robcorreia, I can't answer question number one... I'll try to grow anything in a pot :-) As for number two you should be able to go right into the larger pot. I've never had any trouble with the few vines I have grow in pots. Liisa |

| Liisa, thanks for the advice! They talk so much about root rot, etc, I thought I could kill a baby vine if the pot was too big....I feel braver now! : ) |

| As long as the soil is well draining and doesn't remain soggy a large pot should be ok. You worry about the soil in a large container holding too much moisture. I'm like Liisa, I'll try and grow anything in a container. Karyn |
