Growing in pots

16 years ago

I just wanted to share this with everyone. I bought a christmas palm from florida and it was in a 30 gallon cloth pot. I asked the nursery guy why the cloth pot he said no rot and they palms grow better and the roots breath better. Well all I can say is my palms grew great and I would recommend you use them to. If you use this bag dont use light peat soil. Use a heavy rich garden top soil.

Pretty cool idea! I wonder how much they really need to be watered, but according to the website, they dont get as warm as other pots so might need even less water! Never heard of these pots before. Thanks for sharing!

Anytime alex. I probably wouldnt have ever tried these pots if my palm didnt come with one on it.
