How do I choose the right pot size for my plants?

Choosing the right pot size is crucial for your plants' health. Generally, a pot should be 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current pot.

What happens if the pot is too small?

If the pot is too small, the roots can become root-bound, leading to stunted growth and poor health.

And what if the pot is too big?

A pot that's too big can retain too much moisture, which may lead to root rot and other issues.

Are there specific sizes for different types of plants?

Yes, different plants have varying root systems. For example, succulents prefer smaller pots, while larger plants like trees need bigger pots.

How often should I repot my plants?

It's generally recommended to repot every 1-2 years, or when you notice roots growing out of the drainage holes.
