Hello and thank you for your interest. The pots are 7" round pots. The hangers were custom made to fit around the pot and hang on the poles. The suggested plant is known as succulents so you do not have to water them every day (the plants shown are actually sedums). For more information please visit this blog that also featured this plant screen: http://www.deborahsilver.com/blog/?s=barry+harrison. Thank you again for your interest in this project, and have a great day!
