Can I plant a flower in a big mug?

They are a handful perennial wildflower seeds and the mug is the size of a toilet paper roll. Do you think the ceramic mug is big enough?

You're probably going to end up with too many plants for the mug but you can thin them out as they sprout. If these seeds are different varieties of flowers some may be too large for the container. Be sure to put some pebbles or something similar in the bottom of the mug before adding the soil for better drainage since there is no drain hole in the bottom of your "pot". It should be cute.
Reply:Yes it will be cute!
Reply:I agree with Daphne
Reply:Only if it has a hole in the bottom for drainage, or if you are VERY careful to not overwater. Plants don't like wet feet.
Reply:Should be o.k. for a while but not for long. Once the plants start to bloom you will want to move them to a larger container, and maybe outside so they can get more light. For starting though they should be fine...;

Reply:Sure, but don't plant too many seeds in it. As the plants grow, you will need to remove some of the seedlings to let the rest grow strong.
Reply:ya, that should be okay. but if you usei t jst make sure that you d not over water it

You'll need to make sure you have some drainage, so before you put the soil into the mug, put in a few teaspoons of small pebbles.





DO NOT OVER WATER!!





What kind of wildflowers?





Sounds like a really cute idea and ought to be pretty.





Have fun with your green thumb!





SMILE!
Reply:what they said and if the cup is not to be reused as a cup fro about 5 bucks you can buy a ceramic tile drill bit and with a steady hand add a drainage hole. I do that all the time on containers that do not have drainage.
