The Importance of Correct Planter Size
Choosing the right size ceramic planter is crucial for your plant's health. A pot that is too large holds excess moisture in the soil, leading to root rot. A pot that is too small restricts root growth and requires constant watering.
The 'Two-Inch' Rule
When repotting an indoor plant, select a ceramic pot that is 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter than the current nursery pot. For larger floor plants (like a mature Monstera or Ficus), you can safely go up by 2 to 3 inches.
Why Ceramic?
Glazed ceramic planters help retain moisture better than unglazed terracotta, meaning you water less frequently. They are inherently heavy, preventing tall plants from tipping over, making them the superior choice for premium indoor styling.
Drainage is Non-Negotiable
Always ensure your ceramic pot has a drainage hole. Root systems need oxygen just as much as they need water. If a pot lacks a hole, you must use a structural nursery pot inside as a liner.
