That's about 8" wide and 11 inches deep so would you say around 3 gallons or less.If less get another pot if three gallons then that's ok for a small plant.

It would seem that in a shallower pot, all roots would have close to equal access to nutrients. Whereas in a tall slender pot, the top-most roots would have better access to nutrients than those further down.

roots a direct reflection of plant
if rrots are strong and good guess whut the plant is ------

if you use short and wide plant gona be same
if you use tall and thin plnat gon tend to be same

of cours plant size predetermined in genetics
but do a side by side in a tall thin and a short wide wit sisters

of proven stable genetics not sumtin you just crossed
sumtin 3 or 4 links into the chain

From pulling up root balls after the chop, I see that mostly they are wide and fairly shallow, maybe 2-3 x as wide as deep, but I'm not counting the really thin roots that break off; no way to tell about them.

Its not really possible to answer your question, because the answer depends on what kind of plant you have, what kind of setup you have, and how big you want the plant to get.

By my math, a pot that is 20cm in diameter and 30cm high (not "deep"), will have a volume of roughly 9400 cubic centimeters, or roughly 2.5 gallons. That's certainly enough volume to bring a small plant (say between 2-3 feet high) all the way through flowering.

If you want a bigger plant, you should use a bigger pot.

Also, even if the 20x30cm pot isn't as big as it "should" be, its still going to be a **LOT** better than a much smaller one. In general, you should avoid transplanting unnecessarily, but if all you have is a 20-30cm pot, you could always increase AGAIN to a bigger pot later, if you had to.
