🌱 Understanding Sow Exotic’s Plant Sizes & How to Grow Them

At Sow Exotic, plants come in four different pot sizes, each suited for different planting situations. Here’s how to grow them successfully:

4" Coconut Coir Pots

✅ Best for: Small herbs, starter fruit trees, and leafy greens.
✅ Transplant directly into the ground or a larger container—these biodegradable pots decompose naturally.
✅ Ideal for indoor growers who want a compact, manageable plant that can be repotted as it grows.

Growing Tip: When transplanting, gently loosen the pot bottom and plant it directly into the soil to encourage root expansion.

1-Gallon Coconut Coir Pots

✅ Best for: Young fruit trees, larger herbs, and shrubs that need more space.
✅ These plants are more established and can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the ground.
✅ Great for patio or balcony gardening where space is limited but you still want a strong-growing plant.

Growing Tip: Water deeply after transplanting to encourage strong root establishment.

3-Gallon Nursery Pots

✅ Best for: Larger fruit trees and perennials ready to go directly into the ground.
✅ These plants are more mature and will take off quickly once planted.
✅ Ideal for growers who want faster fruit production with minimal wait time.

Growing Tip: When planting in the ground, dig a hole twice as wide as the pot to allow for root expansion.

4x14" Citra Pots (For Citrus Trees & Deep-Rooted Plants)

✅ Best for: Citrus trees and other plants with deep root systems that require extra vertical space.
✅ How to grow: These recyclable Citra pots allow citrus trees to establish strong taproots before transplanting.
✅ Ideal for: Citrus growers looking for a head start with a well-rooted tree that adapts quickly after planting.

🌱 Growing Tip: If transplanting, ensure the planting hole is deep enough to accommodate the long root system. Keep soil evenly moist but well-draining for optimal citrus health.
