transplant containers

[gardengalrn]

After someone here (well, on GW at the time) suggested it a few years ago, I have also had excellent luck with the plastic "party" size cups that you get 20 to a bag. I use MG potting soil when potting up and take a hot knife and put 2-3 slits on the bottom and 2-3 around the side. Not too big but enough for drainage and air circulation. They are pretty rooty by the time I plant them out but they seem quite healthy. Sometimes I have to repot a stray cherry or two because they tend to grow so big so fast and I usually put them into a 2 liter cut bottle for a week or so if I have to.
