Each pot above is displayed in the exact same macrame hanger. The pot size determines how it will sit and how much clearance you have for your plants. Larger pots normally mean you will have to use vining plants.
If you have a more vertical plant in a bigger pot, you can always custom order a hanger with a longer leader.
When choosing a Cache Pot (decorative pot) always opt for one slightly larger than the nursery pot your plant is in. I recommend keeping your plant in a nursery pot to allow for better drainage if your cache pot does not have a drain tray. You could also add rocks or stones to the bottom of the pot to keep the roots out of any excess water, but that will add overall weight to the pot and may stretch your macrame.
If you're like I was at the beginning of my plant journey, you want to put every plant you buy in the pots you want them to grow into. It took me over a year of fighting root rot and dying plants to realize that the pot size is pivotal. There are of course plants that like to be root bound and plants that prefer to have a little more growing room, but in any case, too much ain't a good thing!
Moral of the story- Pot Patience Pays Off
If you're taking care of them correctly, your plants will grow. Be conscious of their growth style and what they may look like in the future. Many hanging and "string of" plants will become leggy and difficult to remove from hanging macrame. You may have to make the decision to trim your beloved plant or cut your beautiful hanger! This doesn't mean you shouldn't hang specific plants, just monitor them and repot/hang before it's too late.
P.S- Most macrame can support a wide range of pot sizes, so you just have to repot the plant and you reuse the hanger!
