How do I pick a pot size for repotting plants?

I know that it can be harmful to the plant if you repot them in a vase/pot that's too big for them. I have a sago palm that I just repotted and was wondering if there's a general rule of the next pot size to go up.

How do I pick a pot size for repotting plants?
I just planted my Sago outside this weekend. I found this website helpful:

One thing I found out that I did not know is that Sagos are poisonous to animals. I have 3 more that I have yet to plant, but, I am going to try to teach my lab to stay out of the flower beds before I plant them.
Reply:just one size up you can go wrong
Reply:usually you should go no more than an inch or two bigger then the previous pot the plant was in.
Reply:General rule is 1 inch larger.


Some plants like being pot bound. They won't bloom , they put out runners or shoots.
Reply:always go one size up
