lol small is less than a 12 inch side to side span here....I like monster size plants ...smaller ones are cool too but give me one that makes peoples jaw drop and stuns them into awe when it blooms....I hope to someday be able to bloom a huge plant with masses of blooms

Dave, the outside dimension is 4". As to the growing media, well, your guess is as good as mine. I got in this basket and I'm somewhat fearful of repotting it! I know some day I will have to but for now it is what it is.... any ideas from the peanut gallery would be welcome.

Hmm, I believe I recall someone you know mentioning that very thing to you.

Depends in part upon whether at that time you decide to divide it or just to pot up. If the basket has not decayed by that point, you could just set this basket in a larger basket.

Thats really nice! I love blue catts. They are my favourite coloured catts.
