How much soil will you need?
All volumes are approximate but use the volume above as a guide to work out how much soil or other substrates you need. Remember to allow for the plant's roots, you'll need less than you might think.
What pot size should you go up to?
As a general rule, it's best to only go up one to two pot sizes when repotting. Too big an increase can increase the risk of root rot and temporarily stunt or slow down foliage growth. Too much more soil can increase root rot by holding too much water for too long. Too much more soil can also stunt or slow foliage growth while plants divert their energy to root growth to fill in the new space.
One pot size is about 2cms wider than what you plant is in now. For example, from a 12cm wide to a 14cm wide pot, depending on the pot heights. If your new pot is both taller and wider, that may account for moving up two pot sizes, so do check both height and width.
What are Rain clear pots made of?
Rain pots are recyclable (recycle code 5), made of the same type of thermoplastic used for food, for everything from kids lunchboxes to medicine bottles. I prefer this type of plastic for plants because it has:
- High chemical resistance to reduce leaching, making them a better choice when using fertiliser so nutrients stay available to roots and don't build-up over time.
- High heat resistance, handy for sun lovers indoors, and for cleaning with hot enough water to kill any baddies if you ever get pests. Also top rack safe in the dishwasher.
- Great clarity for use when you want to see what's inside, ideal to keep an eye on root health and check moisture level.
- Low moisture loss making it easier to predict when your plants need watering again, and a great option for heated, dry-air conditions like a typical kiwi winter.
- BPA free for peace of mind.
