The cultivation of hops in pots is possible, but if not done optimally, it leads to poor results. When considering growing a hops in pots, one must take into account the adequate air circulation required, correct and constant wetting, optimal fertilization, and exposure. The ideal position for a pot cultivation is with direct sun on the canopy in the morning and with afternoon shade. It is advisable to use a pot of at least 35cm in diameter, without saucer. In the event that the use of the saucer is necessary for a quiet life and good neighborhood, it is good to keep the vase in a raised position with respect to the saucer, in order to prevent the roots from remaining soaked in rainy periods. In the bottom of the pot you MUST create a drainage of at least 3 cm (depending on the depth of the pot chosen), you MUST use a professional soil, possibly with pumice that can be purchased in serious nurseries or gardens. If pumice soil is not available, take the best you can find and add fine gravel or expanded clay. Then transplant the plant at the same height as the level of the pot we sent you, without reloading soil on the collar. For those who have the possibility, the best substrate can be prepared with 40% of Garden Earth / field, 40% of blonde peat, 20% of straw manure of mature stable at least 10 months so friable as to seem loam.
