Well Semiminiature is a plant that is 6 to 8 inches and miniatures up to six inches or less. I grow some of my Miniatures in thumb print pots but never larger than a 2 " pot. . My Semiminiatures are also grown in 2 inch pots never over 2.50. I always use the one third rule with potting.The pot should not be larger than 1/3 of the plant.
In the case of varieties described as miniature, the proper size is defined as no more than 6" in diameter, and for semiminis, no more than 8".
