What size pot?

TexasTycoon · July 13, 2015

We have a jalapeno plant that is make a steadfast effort to grow back after being decimated and chopped down due to an aphid infestation caught too late earlier this year. I know I need to transfer him to a bigger pot (he was in an earthbox-like container with some other things but it took up too much room on our patio with everything we're growing this year), but I'm not sure what size? I have on hand a couple of larger pots but I'm not sure their sizes...one is probably around two gallons and the other is just slightly bigger than that. I can buy a new pot if that's too small. The jalapeno (not sure the variety, it's a Bonnie plant from Lowe's) plant is currently in a pretty small (probably 6-8 inches diameter, 6-8 inches height) pot.

Thanks for any help!
