I managed to sprout some butter nut squash from seeds and would like to plant them but i only have a small balcony what is the plant to pot size ratio i should look at ? i was thinking 2 plants in a pot of about 7 to 10 liters hopefully ill be able to grow vertically with some canes. would this work ?

2 [butternut squash plants] in a pot

I’d give them solo pots, as big as you have space for—square might be significantly more effective than round on a balcony. They’re basically very elongated courgette plants, and don’t like to be crowded. A bold choice for a confined space, good luck

yeah having read up a bit they look to spread out quite a bit. If I can get them to grow up might be OK. Thanks for the advice.
