IDK why it would be a problem unless they sell that plant with the garden center and they think you're stealing it LOL or you could just measure the pot? I take my bearded dragon to the garden center so why not 🤸💕🦎🤷‍♀️😁

As a general rule get a pot 2” bigger than the last one

I bring either a tape measure or an empty pot same as the one I’m up potting from to test it out.

Just make sure to show some way of identifying it to be yours. And tell one of the accociates that it's yours.
