Large Indoor Pots
Big indoor plant pots for statement houseplants - the fiddle leaf, the monstera, the palm that is quietly taking over. Large plant pots indoors, done properly - floor-standing sizes from 26cm up.
New large indoor pots lines are landing soon - here are our current bestsellers in the meantime.
What size pot does a fiddle leaf fig or monstera need?
Statement houseplants such as fiddle leaf figs, monsteras and large palms usually want a pot 30 to 40cm across. Go only 3 to 5cm wider than the current root ball each time you repot. Indoors, use a cover pot with a saucer so watering never marks the floor.

About our large indoor pots
There is a moment in every plant owner's life when the windowsill is no longer enough. Big indoor plant pots are for that moment - floor-standing pots with the size and presence to hold a mature fiddle leaf fig, a monstera on a mission or a kentia palm doing its best hotel-lobby impression. Large plant pots for indoors have a different job from their garden cousins: no frost to fight, but every eye in the room on them. Large indoor house plant pots need to get two things right: enough root room for the plant to keep thriving, and a look that holds its own in the room, because at this size the pot is furniture. Ours come in glazed ceramic with proper depth of colour, honest terracotta, and lightweight options for anyone who rearranges rooms on a whim. Indoor plant pots large enough for trees ship with sturdy saucers or as sealed cover pots, so your floorboards stay dry. These are large indoor planters as much as pots - the size where a planter becomes part of the furniture. If you are torn between indoor and out, our large garden planters cover the frost-proof side. Free UK delivery over £20 and a 100% money-back guarantee as standard.
Large Indoor Pots - FAQs
How big should the pot be for a fiddle leaf fig?
Go 3 to 5cm wider than its current nursery pot. A mature fig usually sits happily in a 30 to 40cm pot - bigger than that and wet compost lingers around the roots.
How do I water a big indoor pot without flooding the floor?
Either use a deep saucer and pour slowly, or keep the plant in its nursery pot inside a sealed cover pot and lift it out to water in the sink.
Are large ceramic pots too heavy for upstairs rooms?
A planted 40cm ceramic pot is heavy but fine on any normal floor. If you like to move things around, pick a lightweight pot or add a wheeled trolley.
