is a 15 gallon pot good to grow a plant
1 gallon per foot
15 gallons is too large.
3 gallon is much better.
5 gallon for larger plants.
15 gallon is very good for outdoor growing. There is no too large . Use as big as possible :thumbsup:

So work your way up from a small pot and observe how your plant looks as to whether it appears to be drooping the leaves. I usually change the pot once i see that the leaves are still droopy in full sunlight after I've watered them.

They drain very nice so never a problem with "wet feet" Heres a cute pic with my son and our dog asleep in a 200 gallon one. Here is a shot of some plants in five gallon smart pots in a greenhouse.
