Thank you very much for taking the time to advise the newbies.
yes its worth doing helps keep you from overwatering for one. many roots will want to go downwards and need space for that for 2. and 3 some grow very quickly in pots.

my tc's go in pots the first minute I get them. pot size depends on the size of the plant.

but if you really want to get them to go is in the ground with 50% shade cloth to keep the sun off them.
