For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.

⌀17cm	18-19cm
⌀20cm	21-22cm
⌀25cm	25-26cm
⌀28cm	29-30cm
⌀33cm	34-35cm
⌀35cm	37-39cm
