Growing together

I noticed most people have there plants in seperate pots and etc.
but i was wondering, is it nesscery? because i have mine growing all in the same 5ft long pot, and I wonder if it would cause harm? so far they are really healthy and growing better than when in seperate pots.

should i seperate for there safety, or leave them long pot.

youll be fine but the only thing thats a risk having all your plants in the same pot or having all your rockwools sitting on one rockwool slab is that 1. there can be compettion for root space and ofcourse actual plant space and 2. its easier for plant problems to be transferred each other.

as long as the pot is big enough (think the Earth) then you can have as many plants as the pot can handle. How many plants the pot can handle is a different question and depends on a few things like how big you want them to get, what kind they are, etc..

Most people have them in different pots cause it is easier to move them around and work with them. I think the biggest danger in having all the plants in the same pot (provided it is large enough) would be having to remove one because of disease but not being able to remove it completely because all of the roots have grown together.

But i'm no experts and others may have better information.
