Container library
Growing plants in pots — and the pot size each one needs.
Ideal in pots (6,953)
Naturally pot-sized. These are the easiest container plants — the right pot and free-draining compost is all they ask.
Grow well in pots (2,022)
Happy in a container with a bit more root room. Watch watering in summer, when pots dry fast.
Need a large pot (924)
Container plants for life, but substantial ones — enough compost to stay stable and buffer moisture.
Outgrow pots in time (1,788)
Fine in a container while young. They get big in open ground, so a pot is a medium-term home that keeps them smaller.
