🏝 Why getting bigger plants in bigger pots are a better choice than smaller ones

Stronger Roots: Bigger pots give roots more room to spread, making them stronger and healthier.
Easier to Establish: These plants adjust more quickly when planted, making them easier to care for.
Faster Growth: Plants will grow faster once planted in your garden, as their larger root systems help them absorb nutrients and water more effectively.
Better Resilience: Larger plants can handle stress, like temperature changes or less watering, better than smaller ones.

🍀 Choosing a plant in 3-7 gallon pot means a healthier, faster-growing plant with less work needed, than for 1 gal plant.
