I don't have sufficient room to use the large multi-gallon containers recommended for some plants, but I can ensure that daily watering occurs. If a plant becomes root bound, does it matter, as long as it receives sufficient water and nutrients? Thank you .......Bruce Quote \| Reply \| Report

Some plants won't do anything until they are root bound. Some will did if they get root bound. I suppose you could experiment and give it a try. Then you'll learn which ones don't mind the cramped quarters and which ones not to try again. Good luck. You can keep us posted on your success in the Container Gardening section in the Forums. We'd all like to learn along with you. Quote \| Reply \| Report
