Why Pot Size Matters More Than Beginners Think

Small pots dry fast, overheat, and restrict roots before the plant reaches harvest size.

What to do now

Use deeper pots for fruiting crops.
Grow greens in shallow containers.
Avoid tiny pots for tomato, brinjal, cucumber, and gourds.
Repot before roots circle tightly.
