Too many morning glories planted in pots?
Comments (3)I do think you have too many for that size pot. Your plants will become root bound and won't stay healthy. You definitely don't need that many plants to cover the area it appears you are interested in covering. The strings you have will be lucky to support one vine each, if they continue to be as healthy as they seem now. Martha...See MoreEarly blooming morning glory, tall morning glory
Comments (2)My ivy leafed small light blue morning glories bloomed first and got to about four foot tall. The Early morning, or tall mix got tallest at about ten foot and bloomed much later. Because they needed to be sown after frost I didn't see a lot of difference between my direct sown and winter sown. I didn't use the best soil though and my drainage was bad. This year I'm doing more and will be direct sowing for ease of planting out....See MoreHow many morning glorys to a pot?
Comments (3)I put 3 or 4 MG plants in a 16" (10 gal) pot and they grow fine. That sounds like a pretty combination. Karyn...See Morehow many Morning Glory plants produced this result?
Comments (8)gerris2, the pole is 28cm, or 11in in diameter. Thank you for all your advice... I bought a bunch of flower seeds from the US... it is winter here now so the temperatures are in the high 70s, low 80s right now. It should go down to the low 70s in the next month or so. I will be growing the MGs in Smart Pots (fabric pots). seeds for Heavenly Blue, Split Second, and also Moon Vines have sprouted for me. I think I only have room to try the Heavenly Blue and the Moon Vine... I am trying to think of another place I can grow the Split Second ones... I don't want to have to let the seedlings die... I might try to create some kind of stake thingy out front of our house and let them grow there... As for cleaning the vines once they die yes, I do have a ladder... if it is too much of a pain to clear out the dead vines, I will wait to try to grow them again until we move to find a better place for them to grow. ron_convolvulaceae, thank you--I will put up some kind of mesh for them to hopefully get them to start climbing the pole :) There is plenty of sunlight... right now in that photos a tomato plant in a Smart Pot in front of the pole... I will be moving that to another location to put the Morning Glory pots there instead. dena_eft 7, I am going to go ahead and plant all the seeds that germinate and see what happens... so far 3 Heavenly Blue seeds and 2 Moon Vines have germinated.... oh yes, and 2 Split Seconds...but I will not grow those in that location...trying to think of another place as I mentioned... :)...See Moreoldfixer
