What Is the Right Kind of Pot for an Easter Cactus?

Material

• An Easter cactus should be planted in a clay pot.

Color

• Easter cactus should be in a pot that has not been glazed; colored pots are not a good choice. A clay pot will be a natural reddish-brown color.

Size

• An Easter cactus should be planted in a pot that's approximately 1 inch larger than the diameter of the plant itself. Easter cactus grows best if the roots are slightly cramped; a pot that's too large won't help growth.

Particulars

• The bottom of the pot should have drainage holes.

Considerations

• The cactus will need to be repotted as it grows. Any new pot should always be 1 inch larger than the diameter of the plant.
