Here is a begonia I started in late summer 2004 in a Jiffy pellet. This picture was from July last summer with a bit of soil added to the bottom of a Solo rinse cup to raise the plant to the top of this tiny pot. The roots came through the mesh and captured the rest of the soil at the bottom as well.

It's still in the same pot with no ill effects. Not that I'm advocating bonsai plants like this but it's pretty neat. When my other begonias root through the Jiffy peat pots I started recently I will post some pictures of them.
