What size pot does my plant need?

As a general guide, choose a pot that is 2 to 4 centimetres larger in diameter than the current root ball of your plant. Going too large leads to waterlogged soil because the roots cannot absorb moisture fast enough. Ask our team in-store and we can help you match the right size.

Do I need drainage holes in my pot?

Most plants need drainage holes to allow excess water to escape from the base of the pot. Without drainage, water pools at the bottom and causes root rot over time. If you prefer a pot without drainage holes, place a nursery pot inside and use the outer pot as a decorative cover.

What is the best pot material for an indoor plant in Sydney?

Ecopots work indoors and outdoors with a wide colour range. Our team in-store can help you choose based on your specific plant and setup.

These materials are weather-resistant and lower maintenance than terracotta in an exposed position. Our team can recommend the best option for your balcony setup when you visit in-store.
