I have inherited some large houseplants (around 6 feet tall) that really seem to need bigger pots—I'm seeing yellow leaves and drooping, plus their roots are outgrowing the current pots. I don't have much experience with houseplant care yet, but I'm looking for recommendations on where to find extra-large indoor pots that look nice without costing a fortune.

When choosing pot sizes, remember it should be based on the size of the root ball. For houseplants, a good rule is to go 1-2 inches bigger than the root ball diameter. If you can afford it, you can even go 3 inches wider. Just keep in mind, it’s the root ball size that matters most, not just the height of the plant!
Check out Ollie's! They often have great deals on larger pots, and I've found some really nice ones there.
Do you have a link to their website? Just want to make sure I'm searching for the right place!
Thanks for the tip! My monstera feels cramped in its current 13-inch pot and keeps leaning even when I rotate it.
