POT SIZES
If you are new to gardening and plants, pot sizes might seem a bit confusing.
The main thing to remember is that when a plant is described as 100mm or 140mm etc.. this relates to the pot size the plant is in at the point of sale, not the size of the plant itself.
The number refers to the diameter at the top of the pot and the higher the number the bigger the pot size.

For example, sometimes plants are grown in ‘squat’ pots which aren’t quite as tall as standard. This is common for shallow rooted plants such as succulents and cacti.
