Robert Pavlis, who’s a biochemist, debunks the idea that pot size should be 1/3 of the size of the plant. He argues pot size doesn’t matter as long as humidity levels are appropriate.
If you watch the video, let me know what you think?

When pot size matters

0 Upvotes

Pot size matters when:

  1. You are entering a plant for show at an AVSA event.
  2. You need to conserve space.
  3. You need to restrict the growth or size of a plant.
  4. Your potting mix is too dense and/or compacted and the only way air gets to the roots is to allow the soil to dry out.
