Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?
When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!
MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.
Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.
No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!

Loved the plant and the service!
Very happy with my string of hearts and the three other plants. It was my first time ordering plants online. My order arrived on time and the plants were well packaged. Customer service was excellent...I will be ordering from them again.
I love my new "string of hearts"! i spent a long time looking for this particular plant and finally found it at Mygreenscape. The whole experience from the moment I picked it up has been excellent. The owner was very helpful. My plant is healthy, looks just like the photo and was surrounded by many other interesting plants. I plan to go back and add to my plant collection soon.
