I stick mini leaves and start them off in a one ounce little plastic cup like a 3ounce solo. I get them made by Dart at our local grocery store. I know that restaurant supplies carry all sizes of dart containers. Then I eventually move them to a little bigger ......finally they should never be in any container bigger than a 2" and avPat doesn't even do that. She trains them to live in a smaller pot.

I just ordered 21/4" round tub from Cape Cod. I wanted the 2" round tub but they have doubled in price this year.....

Also a real good taller pot is the 1 1/4 ounce pot you get at Party City.....or any Party store. They come 125 to a package.

Here are the one ounce pots with mini leaves in them.
