I was wondering if there was a general rule of thumb for your pot size. For example something like 1 foot plant = 1 gallon pot or something along those lines. Can anyone help me out? Im using 10 litre (2.6) pots at the mo and my plants are about a foot tall.

thanks, I was also wondering the size of pots to rock for some bigger plants so with this rule of thumb I'm looking at 5 gallon for 5 footers. p.s watch out that kitty looks like a mountain climber. lol.
