My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Growing climbers in pots...Help?

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I have the perfect spot (sunny side) for a climber, however, due to some future construction to our front porch, I will not be able able to plant a climber right away in the ground... I am thinking about growing it in a pot, but not sure how to go about this.. Are there any special things that I need to consider, I am thinking good soil, pot size and watering constantly will be the main ones, but anything other than that?

If it's not to much problem, Do you have any pics of yours?

Thanks a bunch guys!

    i've had some climbers in 24in pots for 5 years in south east texas, and they did beautifully-with good soil, fertilization and drip irrigation i had to work around enormous tree roots, a swimming pool and established trumpet vine - it was either pots or no roses i left the roses with that home when we moved, new owner loved them....
