Step 1. Choose your pot and get ready

Getting the right pot is the first step to creating a happy home for your plant. Think of it like giving your plant just the right amount of space to stretch and grow.

What to do:

• Choose the right size: Select a pot 2.5–5 cm (1–2 inches) larger than the plant’s current root ball. For tall plants, use a deeper pot; for spreading plants, opt for a wider one.

• Prepare the pot: clean the pot thoroughly to remove any old soil or debris.
