Right now they are in small 4 inch pots. They are about 3-4 inches tall.

When do I switch to bigger pots? Which size of pot should I switch to? one gallon, three gallon, five?

If u can transplant right now...and if u do have space in the future start with the same pot u´re going to finish, avoids transplant shock, root bound etc....Peace and Pot

If I would have known that I would of done that intially. I thought it was harder to water and avoid root rot, etc if you start with bigger pots so you should start with small and scale up as the plant grows?

I guess if this is the case I'll start in 3 gallons pots next time.

Do you guys suggest pre-emptively putting in support for the plants? Or just only if needeD?
