The number of plants that will fit in a round pot.

[Ron]

Calculating the number of plants that will fit in a round pot.

The maths is easy if you go through it step by step, don’t be put off

Measure the diameter of your pot (its width at the widest point)
Divide that number by the spread of one plant (they must be equal)

For example: a 22” wide pot and a 2” spread would give 11

If you get a number with a fraction, remove the fraction

For example: a 16” wide pot and a 3” spread would give 5 plus a fraction, you would use 5

Write that number down
Now add 1 to that number then halve it

For example: with the example of 11, adding 1 gives 12 then halving it gives 6
Below your first number, write all the numbers down to the number you just worked out

For example:
11
10
9
8
7
6

Leave the first number as it is and double each of the others

For example:
11
20
18
16
14
12

Add the numbers together

For example: 11+20+18+16+14+12 = 91

You have your answer, 91 plants with a 2” spread will fit in a 22” diameter pot.
