FAQ About Choosing the Right Pots and Containers for Indoor Plants

Choosing the appropriate pot size depends on the plant's current size and growth needs. As a rule of thumb, the new pot should be 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the root ball for small plants and 2-4 inches for larger plants. A pot that's too large can lead to waterlogging, while a pot that's too small can stunt growth. Regularly check if roots are growing out of the drainage holes or becoming tightly packed, as these are signs it might be time to repot.
