   Hi @morph and people at !grow !chili !
   
   Can you tell me something about flowerpot sizes?
   
   A friend give me this plants of #PimientosDePadrón
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padr%C3%B3n_peppers
   There are ready to put on ground but as I must use flowerpots indoor I have to move it soon.
   If I understood, the bigger pots the bigger plants, but I have no much space so I can sacrifice quantity for variety.
   
   At the image you can see some recipients (I'd like to reuse if possible) with different sizes. The small one on the left maybe it's too low for peppers (Did read they need deep pots for his roots) and I like the one on the right because it's from milk bottles I use everyday.
   The two in the middle are a little bigger.
   
   Would you recommend me any of this or no one? :)

     @colegota I would use at first something the size of the yogurt containers (behind). Oh, heat a large nail and make (melt) 3 or 4 holes in the bottom.

     @chalkahlom thanks!
     I always make holes at bottom. :)

     @chalkahlom @colegota I think it depends on the variety. Some need big pots even just grow well in the field, some will do in smaller pots. I got a Habanero living in a bonsai pot for example. https://gs.morphtown.de/url/102871

     @morph  Well, the problem it's that I don't know nothing about the varieties I'm growing. In most cases I don't know the variety itself! Maybe last year. :)
     
     For those like #PimientosDePadrón I'll use that for 1L yoghurt as @chalkahlom suggest as only one it's for me, and maybe for the rest I test different sizes and observe.
