    Grow in big (12") pots in trays. Water from the bottom and feed from the top and like LG says top up with fresh compost so they'll put out additional roots. Watch out for red spider mite and spray or introduce a biological control if you spot it. Don't let the compost become too wet or the neck will rot.
