cjb is real close.... actually it depends on the plants likes and dislikes... some plants like having their roots crowded and won't 'bloom' until they are.... some like a lot of room to spread out and others just want enuff soil around them to stretch a little... it's not the same for all... so your best move is to research your plant and read up on what it says about repotting.....a 'standard' for most of us is to only use a pot that is one inch bigger than the rootball, just so the plant can get a root into some fresh, nutrient-rich soil..... if the plant is very large, but the root ball is too small to hold it up, you can always put the smaller pot inside a larger one and hold it up with chunks of stone or foam or whatever, and cover them with mulch to hide.....and so wait for the plant to need a pot that's bigger, while still be stable and not falling over!....then, too, pruning some of the size of the plant might be a good idea if it will allow you to.....

Depends on the plant. Clivia and Agapanthus love to be almost bursting out of the pot whilst others like to have a little space to stretch their roots.
When you do repot your plants only go up one or two sizes at the most.

I would use a pot about 8 inch wider.This should be spot on.The plant should have the right amount of space, to grow in.

My mom's rule: Height of pot is half the height of plant.
Therefore, 6" tall pot for 1' (or 12") plant or 2' tall pot for a 4' potted tree, etc...

well lift the plant if you can out of the pot, and if you see alot of roots the get a bigger pot....
if its a tree....then get a bigger pot
if its a shrub/bush then wait a while to get a bigger pot
if its a vine...then dont worry about it
if its a plant with alot of flowers(not a bush, or a tree) then change it.
