What to expect
A plant's eventual size matters more than its pot size today.
A good place to start
Describe the planting spot and ask about mature dimensions and seasonal care. For indoor plants, explain light and room conditions rather than choosing only by appearance.
What to compare
- Site conditions
- Mature size
- Care requirements
