Why Use Large Pots for Plants Indoors?

Small pots cramp roots. Trees and shrubs grow slow or tip over.

Large pots for plants:

  • Let roots grow deep.
  • Keep soil moist longer.
  • Make plants stable.
  • Add style to rooms.

Experts say pick pots 20-30 inches wide or tall for big plants (The Spruce recommends this for fiddle leaf figs).

Drainage is key. Extra water must drain out fast.
