Pots

I used to use and recommend 6" net baskets for mature plants. The plants seem to grow better and develop more offshoots than any other method. I still use them for some species, especially cardinalis but  as of July, 2001, I have started using a new pot that I have come across.  While the big plants do well in the 5 x5 x6 pots, I have noticed that those pots are a bit too large for some of the hybrids.  I came across a pot called a 450 tagloc and it is available from Dillen, Kord and ITML.  It is 4-3/16" square by  4-7/8" deep. It comes in a clay color and I will be trying it for small adult sized tubers when I repot this fall.  One additional note about convenience.  It's a good idea if you can get trays for the pots so they don't go all over the place when you bump the shelf. They also hold the pots at an even depth when you put them in a flow table. You can see a picture of the pots on the supplies page.
