I have been thinking about using cloth pots. Some of my citrus are ready to be repotted so I have a few questions. If the plants are in a 12 inch pot what size pot should they go in if the pot is sized by gallons? And what is the average price for cloth pots? I don't want to find some on eBay etc and overpay. Thanks in advance.

I've been away for a couple of years since I became a father of twins almost two years ago. So here is my experience with Smart Pots.

Its been about three years now and they have been doing well. I try to water them more often but sometimes I don't get the chance. I grafted multiple varieties onto them and most of them have already fruited. They've been a little neglected by me lately and its getting colder so a lot of the leaves have fallen off and they have a lot of ripe and over ripe fruit have swelled up and split from the recent rains.

I haven't re-potted them so I don't know how the root-ball looks. I wish I had some recent pictures to post. Maybe next spring when they start to flush again.
