What is the ideal size Container for a new germinated seedling? I've heard too small and you can stunt growth by restricting roots. Too big and you run into water drainage problems. I have a few different size containers already. The smallest pot available is probably less than 2"x2" in length and width while about 2 1/2" deep. The next biggest would be pot with a diameter about 3" and about 4" deep. I'm leaning towards the bigger of the two. If anyone has any images to give me a better specific container size or any watering tips to go along with the size, I'd appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Don't over think this. Unless it's an auto just throw it into a solo cup and in a week or two transplant.
Use the biggest container you can get. +1 on the solo cups. I like the 24oz. But in reality, it would be best to start it in the container its going to live in. If its a large container, and a small plant, just dont over water it. You dont want to over water regardless of container size anyway.
