Choose a modest pot about 1 inch wider than the root mass. Cape Primrose carries broad leaves and tall flower stems above a relatively compact crown, so bloom spread should not determine diameter.

Use a pot about 1 inch wider than the compact root ball. Wax Begonia grows as a fibrous-rooted flowering mound, so choose from the root mass rather than bloom spread or the number of stems.

Choose a container only about 1–2 inches wider than the root ball, then verify usable depth because Gerbera develops a deeper root system than its low leaf rosette suggests. Keep the crown level with the soil surface.
